Categories     Desserts

Time 27m

Number Of Ingredients 9

15-20 fresh cherries (depending on size)
450 g all-purpose flour (1 lb/ 3 ¾ cups )
2 teaspoons baking powder
pinch of salt
60 g granulated sugar (2 oz/ 1/3 cup )
80 g unsalted butter (2.8 oz/ 1/3 cup )
2 medium eggs
200 ml milk (6.7 fl.oz/ ¾ cup + 2 tablespoons )
1-2 tablespoons brown sugar (as needed)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 240 degrees Celsius/ 460 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking tray with baking paper.
  • Stone and chop the cherries. Set aside.
  • Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt in a wide bowl. Lightly stir in the sugar.
  • Cut the butter into cubes and rub them into the flour mixture with your fingertips until the mixture resembles crumbs. Stir in the chopped cherries.
  • You will need about 1 ½ egg for the dough and ½ egg for the egg wash. Break one egg in a cup. Whisk lightly. Pour ½ of the egg into another bowl. Set the cup with the remaining egg aside.Add the second egg to the half egg in the bowl. Add the milk and whisk together.
  • Combine: Pour the egg-milk mixture into the flour mixture. Stir to mix with a spoon. The dough will be rather soft.
  • Cut scones: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and shape with your hands into a round shape, about 22 cm/ 8.7 inches diameter and 2,5 cm/ 1 inch thick. Cut into 8 triangles, flouring the knife, if necessary.
