Cherry and Cream Scones
Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
-
Cut the cold butter into small cubes and add it to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, egg, and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
-
Gently fold in the fresh cherries.
-
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it a few times until it comes together. Pat the dough into a 1-inch thick circle.
-
Use a sharp knife to cut the circle into 8 wedges. Transfer the scones to the prepared baking sheet.
-
Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown.
-
Remove from the oven and let the scones cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes before serving.
