Heart-Shaped Dried Cherry and Chocolate Chip Scones image

Wonderful scones from epicurious.com. I didn't have a 2" heart-shaped cookie cutter so I just cut the dough into 12 triangular shapes. Very easy and absolutely delicious. I love the combo of orange, vanilla, almond, cherry and chocolate. A must-try!

Tips:

  • To achieve the perfect scone texture, use cold butter and buttermilk. The cold butter will create flaky layers, while the buttermilk will add moisture and tenderness.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will result in tough scones. Mix the dough just until it comes together.
  • Use a sharp knife or pastry cutter to cut the butter into the flour. This will help to create even-sized pieces of butter, which will result in flaky layers.
  • Don't overwork the dough when shaping the scones. Overworking the dough will make them tough. Gently pat the dough into a circle, then cut it into wedges.
  • Bake the scones in a hot oven. This will help to create a crispy exterior and a tender interior.
  • Let the scones cool slightly before serving. This will allow them to set and develop their full flavor.

Conclusion:

These heart-shaped dried cherry and chocolate chip scones are the perfect treat for any occasion. They're easy to make, delicious, and sure to impress your friends and family. So next time you're looking for a special breakfast or snack, give these scones a try. You won't be disappointed!
