Ingredients
- 1. 1 and 3/4 cups of versatile all-purpose flour
- 2. 2 tablespoons of the same all-purpose flour
- 3. 2 tablespoons of the exquisite black onyx cocoa powder from the renowned Savory Spice Shop®
- 4. 1/2 cup of rich brown sugar
- 5. 1 and a half teaspoons of leavening baking powder
- 6. 1/2 teaspoon of savory salt
- 7. 3 tablespoons of dainty miniature semisweet chocolate chips
- 8. 1/2 cup of luscious heavy cream
- 9. 2 tablespoons of the same heavy cream
- 10. 1/2 teaspoon of fragrant almond extract
- 11. 1/2 teaspoon of aromatic vanilla extract
- 12. 1/2 cup of delightful cherry pie filling
Step 1
To begin, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper for easy cleanup later on.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, brown sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Give it a good mix until everything is well incorporated, then gently fold in some decadent chocolate chips for that extra burst of flavor.
Step 3
Next, in a separate bowl, whisk together heavy cream, a touch of almond extract, and a splash of vanilla extract. Slowly incorporate this creamy mixture into the dry ingredients using a spatula. Once you start to see large clumps forming, gently fold in some luscious cherry pie filling. Be careful not to overmix – we want a tender scone, not a tough one.
Step 4
Now, transfer the dough onto a generously floured cutting board. Pat it down into a disk that's about 1-inch thick and 10 inches in diameter. With a sharp knife, cut the disk into 8 equal wedges and carefully place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 5
Pop the scones into the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then lower the temperature to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Rotate the baking sheet for even baking and continue to bake for another 10 minutes or until the scones have developed a crisp exterior with a soft, moist center. You'll know they're ready when the edges start to look dry.
Step 6
Once baked to perfection, remove the scones from the oven and transfer them to a wire rack to cool for about 15 minutes. This allows them to set and develop their flavors further. Enjoy these delightful treats warm or at room temperature for a delightful snack or breakfast indulgence.
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. Start by keeping your ingredients organized in a designated baking pantry - a delightful sight to behold when the craving for scones strikes.
- 2. Store your decadent chocolate chips in an airtight container, ready to be sprinkled generously onto the scone dough for that perfect burst of sweetness.
