2 cup all-purpose flour 
2 tsp. baking powder 
1/2 tsp. salt 
1/4 cup sugar 
1/2 cup butter, chilled and cut into ½-inch pieces 
1/3 cup. dried tart cherries, chopped 
(You can also use dried sweet cherries.) 
1/4 cup almonds, coarsely chopped 
1 Tbsp. fresh orange zest 
3/4 cup Longmont Dairy milk 
1/2 tsp. almond extract

Preheat oven to 450° F. In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Cut in the butter (using either 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 two inches apart on a greased baking sheet.

Bake 12-14 minutes until lightly browned. Smells like heaven coming fresh out of the oven!
