Add Step-by-Step Photos	Shandy / All my dishes 1 year, 3 months ago The scones are melt-in-your-mouth GOOD! I crushed up my almonds so that there were still little chunks for texture and flavor and the tart pie cherries add so much flavor.

Ingredients

2 c. all-purpose flour

2 t. baking powder

1/2 t. salt

1/4 c. sugar

1/2 c. Unsalted Butter, chilled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces

1/3 c. dried tart cherries, chopped (You can also use dried sweet cherries.)

1/4 c. almonds, coarsely chopped

1 T. fresh orange zest

3/4 c. milk

1/2 t. almond extract

Directions

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.

In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Cut in the butter using a pastry cutter, two knives, or your fingers until the mixture resembles very coarse meal. Stir in cherries, almonds and orange zest.

Make a well in the center, pour in milk and almond extract. Blend ingredients into a soft, slightly wet dough.

Turn dough onto a well-floured surface. Lightly sprinkle dough with flour. Pat into a 7-inch circle. Cut into 8 wedges.

Place wedges 2-inches apart on greased baking sheet. I did not place mine 2-inches apart. I kept mine pretty close together and the baking worked out fine.

Bake 12-14 minutes until lightly browned. Smells like heaven coming fresh out of the oven!
