Ingredients

Servings

• 2 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoon Baking powder
• ¹⁄₂ teaspoon Salt
• ¹⁄₂ cup Unsalted butter (cold)
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• ¹⁄₄ cup Milk (low-fat)
• ¹⁄₂ cup Fresh cherries (pitted and halved)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. Cut the cold butter into small cubes and add it to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, vanilla extract, and milk. Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and stir until just combined.
5. Gently fold in the fresh cherries.
6. 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.
7. Use a sharp knife or a round biscuit cutter to cut the dough into 8 wedges or circles.
8. Place the scones onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
9. Remove from the oven and let the scones cool on a wire rack before serving.
