Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and 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 dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
-
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.
-
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 or a round biscuit cutter to cut the dough into 8 wedges or circles.
-
Place the scones onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
-
Remove from the oven and let the scones cool on a wire rack before serving.
