Ingredients: 3 cup Flour 1/2 cup Sugar 1/3 cup Cocoa Powder 2 teaspoon Baking Powder 1 teaspoon Baking Soda 1 teaspoon Salt 8 ounce Cold Butter 1 cup Buttermilk 1/2 teaspoon Almond Extract 1 cup Dried Cherries 1/2 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 F. Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl. Cut in butter until mixture looks like corn meal. Add dried cherries. Add buttermilk and almond extract; mix just until thoroughly moistened and dough holds together. Divide dough into two balls; pat down each ball onto a floured surface until about 3/4 inch thick. Cut into 4-6 scones each and transfer to a baking surface. (I used an ungreased cookie sheet but they could also be placed in a pan. Allow some space in between for expansion) Sprinkle with sugar. Bake at 350 F for 25-30 minutes. Yields 8 large or 12 medium-sized scones.
