Lemon Cornmeal Scones With Dried Cherries image

This is a delicious, not-too-sweet treat. The cornmeal gives it a pleasant, crunchy bite. The original recipe is from Nick Malgieri's book "How to Bake." I modified it a little bit by replacing some flour with oat bran, increasing the amount of lemon zest, and adding nuts.

These scones were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I'll add a little more milk next time. The lemon flavor was nice and the dried cherries were a good addition, but overall the scones were just okay.

These scones are so easy to make and they're always a hit with my family and friends. The lemon flavor is subtle and the dried cherries add a nice sweetness. I like to serve them with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of honey.
