Ingredients

Directions

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.

Honey Butter:

  • 1/2 pint cold heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 orange, zested

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.

    Excellent recipe! I double the cream and and a touch more baking powder. The dough was too dry for my taste with the original recipe. I also sprinkle the sugar into the bottom of a pie tin. I then press the dough into the tin and flip it over onto the cookie sheet were i then cut it into the baking portions. I find that the sugar is evenly distributed and the dough is the same thickness that way.

    I use this recipe as a base for different scones... blueberry, choc chip...etc. They come out perfect every time. Make a lot - they go too quick!

    Wow - made for a crowd who know I am not a confident cook. Everyone took one, bit into it, looked surprised, and said "Oh, wow, this is the best scone I have ever had!" I was so pleased!

    I used dried cranberries, almonds, and added white chocolate chips. I also made the scones half the size - they are so rich! I have a disk in the freezer for this coming weekend.
