Cherry Almond Scones

Plan a morning or afternoon tea time and serve these delightful scones along with your favorite pot of tea. (My favorite is mint!)

Ingredients
1 1/2 cups gluten-free baking mix (i.e. Bisquick Gluten Free)
1/2 cup milled golden flaxseed
1/3 cup shortening (i.e. Smart Balance)
1/2 t almond extract
2/3 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
3 large eggs
1/2 cup dried cherries

Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

Blend baking mix and flaxseed.

Using a fork, cut shortening into blended mix.

Stir in almond extract, almond milk, and eggs until well-blended.

Add cranberries and mix until distributed throughout dough mixture.

Drop dough by spoonfuls onto two ungreased baking sheets.

Bake for 14 minutes.

Cool on baking sheets for a few minutes then transfer individual scones to cooling rack.
