Time 25m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup buttermilk, plus
1/4 cup buttermilk, for brushing the scones
1 large egg
3 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 1/4 cups cake flour (not self-rising)
1 tablespoon double-acting baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/8 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into bits
1/2 cup dried sour cherries (available at specialty foods shops)
granulated sugar, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • In a bowl whisk together 1/2 cup of the buttermilk, the egg, the brown sugar, and the vanilla until the mixture is combined well.
  • In another bowl stir together the flour, the baking powder, the baking soda, and the salt and blend in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
  • Stir in the cherries and the buttermilk mixture with a fork until the mixture just forms a sticky but manageable dough.
  • Knead the dough gently for 30 seconds on a lightly floured surface, pat it into a 3/4-inch-thick round, and cut it into 8 wedges. On an ungreased baking sheet brush the wedges with the remaining 1/4 cup buttermilk and sprinkle them with the granulated sugar.
  • Bake the scones in the middle of a preheated 400°F oven for 15 to 18 minutes, or until they are golden.

I love scones, and these are some of the best I've ever had. They're so moist and flavorful. I will definitely be making them again.

These scones are a family favorite! We make them every Christmas morning. They're so light and fluffy, and the dried cherries add a festive touch.

Not bad, but not great either. I've had better scones.

Fail. I followed the recipe exactly and the scones turned out flat and dense.

I'm not a huge fan of scones, but these were pretty good. They were a bit dry, but the flavor was good.

These scones are the perfect addition to any breakfast or brunch table. They're light and fluffy, with just the right amount of sweetness. I love serving them with fresh fruit and a dollop of whipped cream.

Meh. They were okay, but not great. I think they needed more sugar.

I love these scones! They're so moist and flavorful. I've tried them with different dried fruits and they're always delicious. My favorite is the cranberry version.

Not a fan. The scones were dry and dense. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

These scones were a hit at my last brunch party! They're so easy to make and have the perfect balance of sweetness and tartness. I added a bit of extra dried cherries and buttermilk for an even more flavorful scone.
