Cherry Almond Scones

YUM! Enjoy your morning with these tasty scones, full of cherry and almond flavors, drizzled with a lemon glaze.

Recipe: Prep: 30 minutes Serves 6

2 cups of organic whole wheat flour - chemical free

2 tsp. baking powder - aluminum free (Rumford)

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp. Himalayan salt

1/2 cup organic butter

3 tbsp. raw honey

1/2 cup organic sour cream

1 tsp. organic almond extract

1 pastured or organic egg - beaten

1 cup organic dried cherries

2 tsp. organic milk or half & half

Glaze:

1/2 cup organic coconut cream (off the top of coconut milk)

1 tbsp. raw honey

1/2 tsp. organic lemon extract

1 tsp. organic cornstarch - Rapunzel brand

Grease a stainless steel baking sheet with a small amount of organic extra virgin coconut oil. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Combine the first 4 ingredients in food processor and do a quick blend.

Then add in the butter and blend well. Add in the honey, sour cream,

almond extract, and egg. Mix just until blended. Add the cherries

and only pulse a couple of times.

Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and proceed to knead to incorporate

the cherries more and acquire a smoother texture - about 8 turns.

Pat dough into a 6 -7 inch circle and place on greased baking sheet.

Brush on milk.

Using a sharp knife, cut into 6 wedges and separate them slightly. Bake for about 15 minutes - until lightly browned.

Prepare glaze by adding the first 2 ingredients in a sauce pan and cook

on medium heat until hot, then mix cornstarch with a little water for a

slurry and whisk into the glaze ingredients to thicken. Turn off heat

and add in the lemon extract and whisk well.

Plate and drizzle with lemon glaze. Serve warm. Enjoy!
