This is one of many scone recipes in "The Cheese Board Collective Works,", and one of the best scones I've ever had. The golden nuggets have a slight cornmeal crunch and are studded with plump cherries. Cheese Board baker Carrie Blake says that while you can use a mixer, it's better to mix the dough by hand.

Tips for Making Corn Scones

Use fresh or frozen corn kernels. If using frozen, thaw them before using.
If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
Be sure to preheat your oven before baking the scones. This will help them rise properly.
Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the scones tough.
Bake the scones until they are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the scones cool for a few minutes before serving.
