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. 1. Start by keeping your ingredients organized in a designated baking pantry - a delightful sight to behold when the craving for scones strikes.
  2. 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.
