Almond Cherry Scones (with coconut sugar)

  • Author: Mary
  • Prep Time: 10 mins
  • Cook Time: 20 mins
  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 9 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup coconut sugar
  • 3 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into cubes
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk, cold
  • 1/8 tsp almond extract
  • 2/3 cup halved or chopped fresh cherries tossed in 1 tsp coconut sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400F.
  2. Whisk together (or pulse in a food processor) the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Add the butter cubes and pulse or cut into the flour mixture.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, buttermilk, and almond extract before adding it to the dry ingredients. Pulse or knead until just coming together.
  5. Turn the dough out onto your countertop and press it into a large rectangle about 1/2" thick. Press most of the cherries into 1/2 of the dough, then fold the other half over it and press so there is no visible seam. Press the remaining cherries into the top of the dough. Cut into 9 equal pieces and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 16-18 minutes, or until the tops are turning golden.

Notes

These would be really great with a simple powdered sugar/milk icing (with a drop of almond extract for more almond flavor, if you want!)!
