Tips:

  • Use fresh, ripe cherries. This will give your scones the best flavor and texture.
  • Pit the cherries before using them. This will make them easier to eat and will prevent the pits from damaging your baking pan.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the scones tough. Mix the dough just until it comes together.
  • Chill the dough before baking. This will help the scones to hold their shape and rise properly in the oven.
  • Bake the scones until they are golden brown. This will ensure that they are cooked through.
  • Serve the scones warm with butter and jam. This is the classic way to enjoy scones, and it's delicious!
