Time 2h40m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 13

8 tablespoons butter-flavored shortening
4 tablespoons shortening
1 cup pitted fresh cherries, cut into thirds
4 cups all-purpose flour
⅔ cup white sugar
8 teaspoons baking powder
1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
1 ½ cups heavy cream
2 eggs
1 cup confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons milk, or more as needed
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Place butter-flavored shortening and regular shortening into a freezer until very cold, at least 2 hours before use. Place cherries into the freezer until very cold, at least 15 minutes before use.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl. Cut in cold butter-flavored shortening and regular shortening until flour mixture is combined.
  • Whisk heavy cream and eggs together in a small bowl. Stir into flour mixture until combined. Fold cold cherries into dough.
  • Roll dough out onto a lightly floured surface into a rectangle, about 1 1/2-inches thick. Cut in 1/2 lengthwise; cut out triangles from each 1/2. Place on the prepared baking sheet and place into the freezer to get cold, about 10 minutes.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until lightly golden on edges, about 15 minutes.
  • Remove scones from the oven and let cool about 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine confectioners' sugar, milk, and cinnamon in a bowl. Lightly drizzle glaze over cooled scones.
