Ingredients:

Serving

2 cup. all-purpose flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 cup. sugar
1/2 cup. unsalted butter, chilled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1/3 cup. dried tart cherries, chopped
1/4 cup. almonds, coarsely chopped
1 tsp. fresh orange zest
3/4 cup. milk
1/2 tsp. almond extract

Directions:

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Cut in the butter using a pastry cutter, two knives, or your fingers until the mixture resembles very coarse meal. Stir in cherries, almonds and orange zest.
Make a well in the center, pour in milk and almond extract. Blend ingredients into a soft, slightly wet dough.
Turn dough onto a well-floured surface. Lightly sprinkle dough with flour. Pat into a 7-inch circle. Cut into 8 wedges.
Place wedges 2-inches apart on greased baking sheet. I did not place mine 2-inches apart. I kept mine pretty close together and the baking worked out fine.
Bake 12-14 minutes until lightly browned. Smells like heaven coming fresh out of the oven!
