Cherry Chip Scones

Inspired by an april/may 2003 taste of home recipe, and adapted to fit our tastes, these have been a big hit around here & dh's work.

Sift together flour , sugar , baking powder & soda.

Cut in butter.

Combine yogurt & 1 / 4 cup milk.

Stir into flour mixture just until moistened.

Add in the cherries & chips & knead about 8-10 times.

On greased baking sheet , pat the dough into a 9-inch circle.

Cut into 8 pie shaped wedges.

Mix the 2 tablespoons milk with the one drop of almond extract & brush over the top of each wedge.

Separate wedges slightly & bake at 400 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.

Serve warm with butter.
