Cherry Chocolate Hazelnut Scones by Hip Foodie Mom

I’ve written about my love for cherries_ac-5

A huge box of cherries were sent to me by Cherry Chocolate Hazelnut Scones_aerial by Hip Foodie Mom

Baking these scones twice, even if the consistency wasn’t right the first time and they were kinda mushy, was the best. I still ate the first batch with a happy full face. Hazelnut flour, big chunks of delicious cherries and big gobs of melted chocolate baked into a scone was soooooo good. So be sure to pick up some Cherry Chocolate Hazelnut Scones

Cherry Chocolate Hazelnut Scones

Prep Time10 minutes mins
Cook Time22 minutes mins
Total Time32 minutes mins
Course: Breakfast, Brunch, Dessert or Snack
Author: Hip Foodie Mom

Ingredients

  • 1 heaping cup hazelnut meal/flour I used Bob's Red Mill
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 5 tablespoons very cold unsalted butter; cut into cubes
  • 1 cup cherries pitted and chopped
  • 1/2 to 1 cup bittersweet or semi-sweet chocolate chunks or morsels
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 egg + 1/2 teaspoon water slightly beaten (for egg wash); alternatively, you can brush on heavy cream instead
  • Turbinado sugar for sprinkling
  • Special tools suggested: pastry blender rubber spatula, rolling pin, dough cutter and parchment paper

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  • Combine the hazelnut flour, all purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, cinnamon and salt in a large sized mixing bowl. Quickly add the cubed butter and using a pastry blender, cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse sand. Add the cherries and chocolate chunks and mix together one more time.
  • Using a rubber spatula, stir in the heavy cream until the dough begins to form, only for about 30 seconds to one minute. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured work surface and knead the dough by hand just until it comes together into a slightly sticky ball, for about 5-10 seconds.
  • Using a rolling pin (with parchment paper covering the dough), gently roll out. Using the parchment paper helps for a cleaner process. Do not roll the dough out too flat. Using your dough cutter, butter knife or pizza cutter, cut the dough into 8 wedges (like you are cutting a pizza) and place the wedges on a lined baking sheet (parchment paper or your Silpat non-stick baking mat).
  • Brush each wedge with the egg wash and sprinkle with Turbinado sugar. Bake for about 20-22 minutes, (rotating the baking sheet halfway through), or when the tops are golden brown. Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes. Serve warm or at room temp.

    The combination of cherries and chocolate in a scone sounds irresistibly good! Hazelnut flour is one flour I still haven’t try and hope to soon.

    I love scones! For a long time, I would make a batch of a different flavor every week. I haven’t made them in a few months and definitely need to remedy that. This chocolate cherry hazlenut version sounds incredible. Can’t wait to try them with my fresh farmer’s market cherries!

    You make the most beautiful scones, Alice. I love that you used hazelnut flour here and chocolate ‘n cherries is a fantastic flavour combo. How about you ship some of the scones to me in Vancouver? I’m sure they’ll keep 😉

    Chocolate, hazelnut, and cherries. Yes, yes and YES! You are so right, once you make homemade scones, you will never buy them again. There’s just no comparison :). Yours look delish!

    I adore scones too, and I agree–homemade is best! I’ve never cooked with hazelnut flour, but now I’m dying to. This recipe is going on the must-make list for sure!
