Cherry Scones image

Wanted something different for breakfast, so I looked through my recipes and found this. I've had it so long, I can't even remember where I got it. They are great for breakfast, brunch or a snack. Serve with butter and jam.

These scones were a bit dry, but the flavor was good. I think I'll try adding a little more butter next time.

These scones were delicious, but they were a bit too dense for my liking. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

These scones were amazing! I made them for a potluck and they were a huge hit. I'll definitely be making them again.

These scones were a bit too tart for my taste, but I think that's just because I used fresh cherries. I'll try using frozen cherries next time.

These scones were easy to make and turned out perfectly. The only thing I would change is to add a little more sugar to the glaze.
