    relatively new to scone's manufacture and baking in general I found this recipe very easy and quite tasty. The classic cherry almond combination was great, these scones may become a staple as a breakfast "alternative" in our house....

    After reading some reviews I decided to stray a bit from the recipe. Here is what I came up with and they came out AMAZING! I added a half cup of sugar instead of 1/3 and used the advice from others about the temperature which was 375 instead of 325. Bake for about 18 minutes. I also used turbinado sugar on top with the almonds. Lastly, I cooled them for 15 minutes and lightly glazed them with a vanilla bean glaze. As a side note, I believe in using the best ingredients available and without a doubt will always use Chukar cherries. I used a mix bag of dried Bing, Montmorency, and Rainier cherries. I buy them online and they do not disappoint. I will definitely make these again!
