Cherry Almond Scones
Buttery and sweet, these gluten free cherry almond scones are just what you want for afternoon tea!
Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cups oat flour , 120 grams
- ½ cup sweet white rice flour
- ¼ cup almond flour
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1 cup dried cherries chopped
- ½ cup chopped sliced almonds
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter cold
- ½ cup whole milk plus more if needed
- ¼ cup honey
- 1 large egg
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flours, baking powder, salt, dried ginger and cardamom, cherries, and almonds. Cut in the butter and, using your hands or a fork, blend until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the milk, honey, and egg. Quickly mix in the wet ingredients and gather the dough together. If it seems very dry add a little milk, a teaspoon at a time.
- On a lightly floured board, roll out the dough until it is about 1-inch thick. Wrap in plastic wrap and let rest in the fridge at least 30 minutes.
- Heat oven to 375℉F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Remove dough and with a biscuit cutter or a knife, cut out the scones into rounds (alternatively, shape the scones with your hands). Place rounds on the baking sheet about 1-inch apart.
- Place in the oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes, until scones are set and lightly browned. Remove from oven and let cool on the pan for 5 minutes. Serve warm with butter and jam
