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
- 1/2 cup dried cherries
- 1 egg, beaten or 1 tablespoon heavy cream, optional[1]
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.
Add the milk and cherries 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.
Bake in oven for 25 minutes.
Move immediately to a wire cooling rack and serve.
Notes
- ↑ This will give the scones a golden crust.
