Another recipe made without eggs wohoo sorry I posted this one a bit late and after shravan.<\/p>\n

We had some cherries left over so decided to make these scones and also the idea of chunky chocolate and almonds definately got me drooling. <\/p>\n

I think for me I would rather use chocolate chunks instead of chips. I usually get a bar of chocolate and cut it up into chunky pieces.<\/p>\n

Ingredients<\/div>\t\t\t
    \t\t\t\t
  1. 31\/4 - cups flour<\/li>\t\t\t\t
  2. 2 tbs - granulated sugar (I used 1\/2 cup)<\/li>\t\t\t\t
  3. 21\/2 tsp - baking powder<\/li>\t\t\t\t
  4. 1\/2 tsp - baking soda<\/li>\t\t\t\t
  5. 1\/2 tsp - salt<\/li>\t\t\t\t
  6. 3\/4 cups - cold butter, cut into pieces<\/li>\t\t\t\t
  7. 1 cup - buttermilk<\/li>\t\t\t\t
  8. 2 tsp - vanilla extract<\/li>\t\t\t\t
  9. 11\/2 cups - fresh cherries, pitted and chopped<\/li>\t\t\t\t
  10. 3\/4 cup good - quality dark chocolate morsels<\/li>\t\t\t\t
  11. 1\/2 cup - sliced almonds<\/li>\t\t\t<\/ol>\n\t\t<\/div>\t\t
    \t\t\t
    Topping<\/div>\t\t\t
      \t\t\t\t
    1. melted butter<\/li>\t\t\t\t
    2. raw sugar for sprinkling on top<\/li>\t\t\t<\/ol>\n\t\t<\/div>\t\t
      \t\t\t
      Instructions<\/div>\t\t\t
        \t\t\t\t
      1. 1. Preheat the oven to 220\u00b0C and line a baking tray with baking paper.<\/li>\t\t\t\t
      2. 2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. Crumble the mixture until it resembles crumbs.<\/li>\t\t\t\t
      3. 3. Stir in the buttermilk and vanilla extract. Fold in the cherries, dark chocolate, and almonds using a spoon or your hands.<\/li>\t\t\t\t
      4. 4. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes. If the dough seems sticky, add more flour. Flatten out the dough to make a 2\" thickness and using a pastry cutter cut the scones out and placing straight on the baking sheet. Repeat process until you make all the scones.<\/li>\t\t\t\t
      5. 5. Brush each scone with some melted butter. Sprinkle some raw sugar on top. Bake for about 10 minutes or until the scones start to turn golden around the edges.<\/li>\t\t\t<\/ol>\n\t\t<\/div>\t\t
        \t\t\t
        Notes<\/div>\t\t\t
          \t\t\t\t
        1. I had to add a lot more flour as the dough was really wet! I'm not sure if that's the case for you but just in case you may need extra flour.<\/li>\t\t\t\t
        2. I am a bit of a sweet tooth and I'm glad I added the extra sugar, although I could have added more as I wasn't the only one who said the scones weren't that sweet.<\/li>\t\t\t<\/ol>\n\t\t<\/div>
