Directions:Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Add all dry ingredients and frozen butter cubes in food processor and process until crumbly. Add dried cherries and pulse just to chop down a bit. In small bowl, combine 1 egg with sour cream and almond extract. Add to dry mixture and process just until dough forms to a loose ball. (Over processing will break down your butter too far and make your scones too dense.)
Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide dough into 2 balls. Lightly flatten each ball to form a small disc about 1" or more high. Cut each disc into six triangles. Place on baking stone lightly sprayed with cooking spray.
Mix one beaten egg with cream. Brush each scone (including sides) with egg mixture. Generously top each scone with course sugar. Bake 15 - 17 minutes or until scones are lightly golden. Cool for 5 minutes and serve warm or at room temperature. Scones can be kept in airtight container a few days. |
