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.

    I've never had sconces this good. I did need to add 1 Cup of cream and at the end my husband had to mix the dough together. I just didn't have the muscle power. I noticed that another reviewer used her mixer and I'll do that next time--and there will definitely be a next time!

    These are great BUT....I needed about 3/4 cup of cream to get the dough to come together. They also took more like 20 minutes to cook. I cut the disk into 8 slices instead of 6. In spite of the tweeking they needed,this recipe is a keeper.
