Time 32m

Yield 8 scones, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, frozen
1/2 cup dried cherries
1/2 cup sour cream
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon almond extract

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.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my scones didn't turn out as light and fluffy as I expected. I'm not sure what went wrong.

These scones were a bit dry for my taste, but the flavor was good. I think I'll try adding a little more butter next time.

These scones were a hit at my brunch! They were light, fluffy, and packed with cherry and almond flavor. I loved the glaze on top, which added a touch of sweetness and crunch. I'll definitely be making these again soon!
