Cherry Bakewell Scones – gluten free

Who loves Cherry Bakewell? It is one of my favourite flavour combos… The happy marriage of sweetly-tart cherry with frangipane almond is just heaven. It is one of those pairings that invites culinary creativity and kitchen play time. These Cherry Bakewell Scones simply had to be made.

I admit that they were conjoured up earlier in the summer when the wonderful Kentish cherries were ripe on the trees and the weather was hot and sultry. The photos have been idling on my computer for months waiting to be edited, but then I got waylaid with school holidays, followed by a wonderful family cruise to Norway, the back to school chaos and then a perfectly relaxing stay in France with a wonderful group of bloggers at Pignoulet retreat. I make no apology… I have had a fabulous summer and feel blessed to have spent it with family and the most incredible friends. It has been exactly what I needed after a couple of years of endless stress and loss.

The cherries may have long-since finished, but these scones are still worth the effort. Frozen cherries are an ideal substitute for fresh… just make sure you defrost and drain them thoroughly before use (and save any of that gorgeous juice for smoothies).

The recipe has been adapted from the successful Hot Cross Scones that I hatched at Easter. Made with buttermilk, a little ground almond and wholegrain gluten free flours, they have a fantastic soft scone texture which stays fresh for days. Although (as with any scone) they are at their best when just made, the scones I make with buttermilk stay way fresher than any other gluten free scone I have eaten. If you keep them in the fridge to extend their life, just remember to bring them back to room temperature or warm them in the microwave to perk them up.

So what makes these scones worthy of the title ‘Cherry Bakewell’? Well… apart from being packed with juicy fresh cherries, the dough is infused with plenty of almond extract… I like my Bakewell to be extra almondy! Slathered with clotted cream and cherry jam they make for a delicious variation on traditional afternoon tea… ideal with a heady, perfumed pot of Earl Gray.

Cherry Bakewell Scones 

Ingredients

340g gluten free plain flour (I used my GFA Rice Free Blend with wholegrain flours)
2 teaspoons xanthan gum
pinch fine sea salt
50g ground almonds
1 tablespoon GF baking powder
2 teaspoons bicarbonate of soda
90g unsalted butter (cold & cubed)
40g caster sugar
1 large egg – beaten
1 pot (284 ml) buttermilk
2 teaspoons almond extract
175g pitted fresh cherries – chopped and drained (or use frozen – completely defrosted and thoroughly drained)
beaten egg mixed with a little milk to glaze
a little extra sugar to sprinkle

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 200 C/400 F/Gas 6. Line a couple of baking trays with baking paper and set aside.
  2. Weigh and mix together the flour, xanthan gum, salt, almonds, baking powder, and bicarbonate of soda until well-blended (I weigh mine into an airtight container and shake vigorously). Transfer to a large bowl.
  3. Rub the cold butter into the flour mixture until it resembles fine breadcrumbs.
  4. Add the sugar and stir through.
  5. Make a well in the centre and add the beaten egg, buttermilk and almond extract.
  6. Use a flat-bladed knife to mix the wet ingredients into the dry, until it clumps together and continue to mix, until it comes together as a very sticky dough. If it looks like the dough is too dry, then add a little milk.
  7. Add the chopped cherries and mix through until even.
  8. Lay a large piece of baking paper on the work surface and sprinkle liberally with gluten free flour/tapioca flour.
  9. Flour your hands well and gently bring the dough together. It should be quite wet.
  10. Tip the dough out onto the floured baking paper, sprinkle a little more flour on the top and lay a further piece of baking paper over.
  11. Gently roll out the dough between the paper to a depth of about 4 cm.
  12. Use a round/fluted cookie cutter (I used one 3 inches/7 cm) to cut rounds from the dough and carefully transfer them to the lined baking sheets.
  13. Bring any remaining dough gently together (trying not to over-work) and repeat the rolling and cutting process, until all the dough has been used and transferred to the baking sheets.
  14. Brush the top of each scone with egg-wash, sprinkle with a little sugar and bake in the oven for 15 to 18 minutes, until well-risen, firm and golden.
  15. Remove from the oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool.
  16. Eat warm or cold, with butter and/or jam and/or cream.
  17. Store the scones in an airtight container for 2 to 3 days if necessary.

    Summer is coming and you make me long for cherries – I love the sound of these and am glad you posted it but I also love the sound of you having a great relaxing summer because it sounds like it is just what you needed.

    These scones must taste so good, with all the cherries in them. I'd eat them with cherry jam for even more cherriness!

Who loves a pancake stack? With Pancake Day next m Who loves a pancake stack? With Pancake Day next month, I’ve been working on some new recipes for BLENDER PANCAKES. 
These amazing American Style Pancakes are super-easy and super-healthy. Made in my #gifted @promixx #miixrx7 I literally threw everything in the blender, whizzed and cooked! 
These protein pancakes also have some fruit blended into the batter for a fruity twist.. Although you can make them without if you prefer. I’ve tried everything from mango 🥭 , blueberry 🫐 and strawberry 🍓... to cherry 🍒 and pineapple 🍍. All delicious. 
You can even pop some unblended fruit into the batter just before it hits the pan for little extra bites of fruitiness. 
Who wants the recipe? 🤔
I’ve popped it on the blog with all the tips for perfect Blender Pancakes and how to make them just how YOU want them xxx 😘

What are you baking this weekend? I’m debating What are you baking this weekend? 
I’m debating a perfectly moist COFFEE & WALNUT Cake. Intense with coffee, rich with walnut, this is one of my most popular recipes. 😁 Made and loved by many, it has done me proud. Swipe ➡️ to see the glorious sponge hidden within the perfectly rich coffee butter cream coating. 🤎
Not all coffee & walnut cakes are created equal. This one is not just a coffee cake topped with walnuts. It has a sponge which incorporates ground walnuts as well as a serious infusion of espresso. And... of course... it is gluten free too. 
Whether Coeliac or not, cake should be luxury... a decadent treat that makes us happy☀️
This cake is worth the calories... so if you need happiness this weekend, grab a bowl and whisk and bake! 
To make it easy to find the recipe, I’ve moved the link to the top of my lnk.bio. ♥️ 
If you make it let me know. Have a great weekend either way xxx

I’ve just updated my blog post with a new recipe card and lots of tips for getting it right.
I reckon it may also be the perfect treat for a cosy lockdown Valentines dinner too ♥️🍓♥️🍓♥️
