Ingredients 

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup cold unsalted butter cut into small pieces
  • 1 cup dried cherries coarsely chopped
  • ½ cup sliced almonds toasted
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract

Instructions 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Stir in the chopped dried cherries and toasted almonds.
  5. In a separate bowl, combine the heavy cream and almond extract. Pour into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
  6. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently. Pat into a circle about 1 inch thick. Cut into 8 wedges and place on the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool slightly before serving.
