Chocolate Cherry Almond Scones Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Combine 1 3/4 cups plus 2 tablespoons flour, cocoa powder, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl and mix thoroughly. Fold in chocolate chips.
• Whisk together 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons heavy cream, almond extract, and vanilla extract in a bowl. Stir cream mixture into flour mixture with a spatula until there are large clumps. Mix in cherry pie filling. Press the dough gently and lightly into a ball, being careful not to overmix.
• Place dough onto a large cutting board and press into a disc that is approximately 1-inch thick and 10 inches in diameter. Cut into 8 wedges and transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then reduce heat to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Rotate the baking sheet and bake until the scones have a crispy crust with a light, moist interior and the edges look dry, about 10 more minutes. Remove from the oven, transfer to a cooling rack, and cool for 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450°F. Line cookie sheet with cooking parchment paper.
• In large bowl, mix flour, 5 tablespoons sugar, the baking powder and salt. Cut in butter, using pastry blender or fork, until mixture looks like coarse meal. Stir in cherries and chocolate. In small bowl, beat egg, 1/2 cup plus 3 tablespoons of the milk and the almond extract with whisk; add to flour mixture, stirring just until moistened. (Dough will be sticky.)
• On cookie sheet, pat dough with floured hands into 8-inch round. Cut round into 12 wedges, but do not separate. Brush dough with remaining 1 tablespoon milk; sprinkle with 1 teaspoon sugar and the almonds.
• Bake 15 minutes or until golden brown. Carefully separate wedges; serve warm.

Steps:

• 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.
• 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.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Combine flour, baking powder, sugar and salt.
• Cut in butter until it resembles course meal.
• Add 2 eggs (1 egg is reserved for later use), almond extract and cream.
• Stir until soft dough forms; mix in chocolate chips and toasted almonds.
• Pat out dough until 3/4 inch thick.
• Cut into diamond shape; brush with reserved egg.
• Place on baking pan coated with cooking spray.
• Bake for 10 minutes until lightly browned.
• Serve warm.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. Grease cookie sheet with shortening or cooking spray.
• In large bowl, mix flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. Cut in butter, using pastry blender (or pulling 2 table knives through ingredients in opposite directions), until mixture forms coarse crumbs. In medium bowl, beat 1 of the eggs with fork. Stir in whipping cream and vanilla. Stir in chocolate chunks and cherries until combined. Pour over crumb mixture; stir just until moistened (do not overmix).
• Place dough on lightly floured surface. Knead lightly 4 times; pat into 7-inch circle, about 1 inch thick. Transfer to cookie sheet. In small bowl, beat remaining egg; stir in water. Brush egg mixture lightly over top of dough; discard any remaining egg mixture. Cut into 8 wedges; separate slightly so wedges aren't touching.
• Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack; cool 10 minutes. Serve warm.
