How to make cherry almond scones

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, lemon zest, salt and baking soda.
• Cut the butter into dry mixture, using a pastry blender or two knives, until the mixture looks like coarse cornmeal. Mix in the cherries and almonds.
• Gradually pour in the buttermilk and extracts and mix with a wooden spoon or a rubber spatula until the dough just comes together. Do not over mix.
• Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured work surface and pat it with your hands into a 9 inch round about 1 inch thick.
• Cut the dough into 8 wedges with a floured knife or metal board scraper.
• Place the scones on a parchment paper-linked baking sheet.
• Brush them with the heavy cream and generously sprinkle them with the sugar.
• Bake for 10 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F and finish baking until golden brown and cooked through, about 15 minutes.
• Serve warm with butter and honey or jam, if desired.
