    Ingredients

    • Topping
    • 1/4 cup sliced almonds
    • 1 tbsp granulated sugar
    • Scones
    • 2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
    • 1/2 cup sugar
    • 2 tsp baking powder
    • 1/2 tsp salt
    • 1 stick butter, softened
    • 3/4 cup sour cream
    • 1 egg
    • 1/2 tsp almond extract
    • 2/3 cup dried cherries or dried sweetened cranberries

    Directions

    1. Preheat oven to 375° F.
    2. Place all topping ingredients in a bowl; mix well. Set aside.
    3. Combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in another bowl; cut in butter with pastry blender or fork until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
    4. Combine sour cream, egg and almond extract in another bowl; mix until smooth. Stir into flour mixture just until moistened. Stir in cherries.
    5. Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface; knead 8-10 times until smooth, adding a small amount of flour, if necessary.
    6. Divide dough in half. Pat each half into a 7 inch circle. Place 2 inches apart onto large ungreased baking sheet. Sprinkle topping evenly over dough. Score each half into 8 wedges; do not separate. Bake 25-30 minutes or until scones are lightly browned. Cool 15 minutes; separate scones.
    7. Store leftover scones in airtight container at room temperature.
