How to Make Whole Grain Cherry Cardamom Scones

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a blender, pulverize 1 ½ cups rolled oats until you have a coarse flour consistency.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the pulverized oats, 2 cups spelt flour, ½ cup cane sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon ground cardamom, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  4. Cut in 1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or two knives until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. In a medium bowl, lightly beat 1 large egg.
  6. Whisk in 1 cup buttermilk and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  7. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir gently to combine. Do not overmix.
  8. Gently fold in 1 cup fresh or frozen cherries.
  9. Drop by rounded tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a couple of inches between each scone.
  10. Bake for 17-20 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  11. Let cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes before serving and enjoying!
