My kids and I love to mix the ingredients together and turn out these delicious scones. The tart cherries and brown sugar and almond streusel compliment the tender scones perfectly. âTeresa Ralston, New Albany, Ohio Ingredients:
2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
6 tablespoons sugar |
2 teaspoons baking powder |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
6 tablespoons cold butter, cubed |

streusel: |
2 tablespoons king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
2 tablespoons brown sugar |
