    List of Ingredients




    1/3 cup dried cherries
    1/2 cup boiling water
    1 1/2 cups flour
    1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
    1/2 tablespoon baking powder
    1/3 cup + 1 tbl. half and half
    1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
    1/4 cup butter, room temperature
    1 egg, separated
    1/4 cup sour cream
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    3/4 teaspoon almond extract

    Recipe



    Soak cherries in hot water for 10 minutes and then drain and set aside. Combine the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl. Using a pastry blender, cut in the butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside. In a small bowl, mix together the egg yolk, sour cream, cream and extract. Add this to the flour mixture and stir until a soft dough forms. Mix in the cherries and then knead the dough lightly on a floured surface (just until dough can be handled). Shape dough into a ball and pat into a 6-inch circle on a greased baking sheet. Cut into six wedges and brush with beaten egg white and then sprinkle with sugar. Bake at 400ºF. for 15 to 20 minutes. Makes 6 scones.
