CHERRY ALMOND MINI SCONES (VEGAN)
These are some super yummy scones! My husband adores these and I almost regret getting him hooked because they are so tempting to me as well! Work quickly with the dough and try not to over work it so your scones stay light. This recipe comes from The Vegan Lunchbox. (You can also add chopped almonds to the mix if you have some on hand - yum!!)

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400ºF. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray with nonstick spray. Set aside.
- Sift together the flours, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the margarine and cut into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or your fingers, until the mixture resembles a coarse, crumbly meal.
- Add the soymilk, cherries, and almond extract. Mix well with a wooden spoon or your hands until the mixture comes together to form a dough. You may need to add an extra tablespoon of soymilk if the mixture is too dry.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface. Divide the dough in half and form each half into a flat round, about 3/4 inch thick. Cut each round into six equal wedges.
- Arrange the scones on the baking sheet. Brush the tops with a bit of soymilk and sprinkle with sugar. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, until the edges and bottom are golden. Serve warm or cover with dish towel until ready to serve.
DRIED CHERRY ALMOND SCONES
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- In a small bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, lemon zest, salt and cinnamon. Add in the butter and rub with your fingers into the dry ingredients until a coarse meal forms. Add in the cherries and almonds. Add the heavy cream and combine it into the butter flour mixture.
- Form the dough into a 1-inch thick disk and cut it into 6 wedges. Sprinkle each wedge generously with the turbinado sugar. Transfer the wedges to a parchment-lined sheet pan and bake in the preheated oven for 17 to 18 minutes, turning the pan halfway through. Serve warm with Honey Butter.
- In a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, add all ingredients and whip on high speed until the cream starts to clump and turn light yellow. Continue mixing as butter forms and the buttermilk begins to separate out. Scrape sides and continue mixing until mixture is one lump of butter. Place butter into a clean container or serving dish and store in the refrigerator until ready to use.

Steps:
- Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- In a medium bowl, mix flour, 1/3 cup sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Grate butter into flour mixture on the large holes of a box grater; use your fingers to work in butter (mixture should resemble coarse meal), then stir in raisins.
- In a small bowl, whisk sour cream, almond extract and egg until smooth.
- Using a fork, stir sour cream mixture into flour mixture until large dough clumps form. Use your hands to press the dough against the bowl into a ball. (The dough will be sticky in places, and there may not seem to be enough liquid at first, but as you press, the dough will come together.)
- Place on a lightly floured surface and pat into a 7- to 8-inch circle about 3/4-inch thick. Sprinkle with remaining 1 teaspoons of sugar. Use a sharp knife to cut into 8 triangles; place on a cookie sheet (preferably lined with parchment paper), about 1 inch apart. Bake until golden, about 15 to 17 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes and serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:
- Use fresh or frozen cherries. Fresh cherries are best, but frozen cherries can also be used. If using frozen cherries, thaw them before using.
- Pit the cherries. Use a cherry pitter to remove the pits from the cherries. If you don't have a cherry pitter, you can use a paring knife to cut around the pits.
- Use almond flour. Almond flour gives these scones a delicious nutty flavor. If you don't have almond flour, you can use all-purpose flour.
- Use vegan butter. Vegan butter is a great substitute for regular butter in these scones. If you don't have vegan butter, you can use coconut oil.
- Use plant-based milk. Plant-based milk is a great substitute for regular milk in these scones. Any type of plant-based milk will work.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing the dough will make the scones tough. Mix the dough just until it comes together.
- Chill the dough before baking. Chilling the dough before baking helps the scones to hold their shape. Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking.
- Bake the scones until they are golden brown. The scones are done baking when they are golden brown on top. A toothpick inserted into the center of a scone should come out clean.
Conclusion:
These cherry almond mini scones are a delicious and easy-to-make vegan treat. They are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a snack. The scones are also a great way to use up fresh or frozen cherries. With their simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, these scones are a great recipe for beginner bakers. So, preheat your oven and get ready to enjoy a batch of these delicious cherry almond mini scones!
