Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, chilled and chopped
  • 3/4 cup whole milk or half-and-half
  • red food coloring (optional)
  • 1/2 cup dried cherries
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 1 egg, beaten or 1 tablespoon heavy cream, optional[1]
  • turbinado sugar

Preparation

Preheat oven to 400 F.

Whisk the first four ingredients together in a large bowl.

Add the butter to the flour mixture and mix with either your fingertips, a pastry blender, or two knives until it forms the texture of coarse meal.

Mix a few drops/squirts of the food coloring into the milk. Add the milk, cherries, and chocolate chips and mix gently until just incorporated (the dough may look a bit dry, but allow it sit for a few minutes and the flour will soak up all the milk).

Place dough on a lightly floured surface and gently press into a 1″ thick circle.

Cut out scones using a heart shaped cookie cutter.

Place scones on a parchment lined baking sheet and brush with beaten egg or heavy cream, if desired. Sprinkle turbinado sugar across the top.

Bake in oven for 25 minutes.

Move immediately to a wire cooling rack and serve.

Notes

  1. This will give the scones a golden crust.
