Seasonal Recipes & Kitchen Stories
Cardamom Cherry Rye Scones with Chocolate Chunks
A great scone should be tender and buttery with crisp, golden edges and a soft, flaky interior. It should feel rich without being heavy and have just enough sweetness to make it equally at home beside a cup of coffee in the morning or served with tea in the afternoon.
These scones combine some of my favorite flavors. Tart dried cherries are soaked with whole cardamom pods and vanilla bean paste until they're plump and fragrant before being folded into a buttery rye dough with chunks of dark chocolate. The rye flour lends a subtle nuttiness that complements the cherries beautifully, while the chocolate melts into pockets throughout each scone.
One of my favorite things about this recipe is that the scones are baked straight from the freezer. I almost always keep a batch on hand, ready to bake whenever we have overnight guests or simply want something warm and homemade without much effort. They're proof that a little planning can make any morning feel a bit more special.
Cook With Us — Live & In the Kitchen
We host relaxed, seasonal cook-alongs on YouTube so you can cook right beside us — asking questions, learning techniques, and having some fun in the kitchen along the way.
We’ve taken a little break on creating new videos but feel free to explore past episodes below anytime the cooking mood strikes. We link our shopping lists in the show notes so you can shop for the video in advance.
