Ingredients

Servings

• 2 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoon Baking powder
• ¹⁄₄ teaspoon Salt
• ¹⁄₂ cup Unsalted butter (cold)
• ¹⁄₂ cup Dried cherries
• ¹⁄₄ cup Sliced almonds
• ¹⁄₂ cup Milk
• ¹⁄₂ teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 Egg (beaten)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. Cut the cold butter into small cubes and add it to the flour mixture. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to cut the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Stir in the dried cherries and sliced almonds.
5. In a separate bowl, mix together the milk and vanilla extract. Pour the milk mixture into the flour mixture and stir until just combined.
6. Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times to bring it together. Shape the dough into a circle, about 1-inch thick.
7. Use a sharp knife or a biscuit cutter to cut the dough into 8 wedges.
8. Place the scones onto the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with beaten egg.
9. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown.
10. Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack before serving.
