Time 43m

Yield 6 scones

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

3 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 lemon, zested
Pinch salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 1/2 sticks cold butter, cut into pea size pieces
1 cup dried cherries
1/2 cup toasted sliced almonds
1/2 cup heavy cream
Turbinado sugar, for garnishing
Honey Butter, recipe follows
1/2 pint cold heavy cream
2 tablespoons honey
1 orange, zested

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.

Tips:

Prep your ingredients ahead of time: Measure and gather all of your ingredients before you begin baking. This will help ensure that you have everything you need and that the baking process goes smoothly.
Use cold butter: Cold butter is essential for creating flaky scones. If your butter is too warm, it will melt into the dough and make the scones dense and heavy.
Work the dough quickly: Overworking the dough will make the scones tough. Mix the ingredients together until they are just combined, then stop.
Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough before baking helps to develop the flavor and makes the scones easier to handle.
Bake the scones until they are golden brown: The scones are done baking when they are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
