Royal Cherry Scones image

Royal cherry scones were on the breakfast table each and every morning while in New Zealand. I asked if I may have the recipe, and the chef said to just follow any scones recipe and add fresh cherries at the end of the recipe. This is my own recipe. I hope you enjoy my delicious homemade scones.

Time 35m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 7

½ cup unsalted butter, divided
1 cup self-rising flour
1 tablespoon white sugar
¼ cup pitted cherries
1 tablespoon crunchy wheat germ
⅔ cup milk
2 tablespoons milk, or as needed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Place a baking sheet in the oven to warm.
  • Rub 1/4 cup butter into flour in a bowl until mixture resembles fine bread crumbs. Stir in sugar. Stir cherries into flour mixture until evenly distributed; mix in wheat germ.
  • Mix milk into dough and knead lightly until just smooth. Roll out on a lightly floured surface to approximately 3/4-inch thickness. Stamp out crescent shapes using a 2 1/2-inch fluted cutter, kneading, re-rolling, and cutting dough until it is all used up.
  • Place scones on the preheated baking sheet; brush tops with 2 tablespoons milk.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Serve immediately; split scones and spread with remaining butter.

I'm not a fan of cherries, so I substituted blueberries instead. The scones were still delicious.

The scones were a bit dry. I think I overcooked them.

These scones were a hit with my family! They were light and fluffy, with just the right amount of sweetness. The cherries added a nice tartness that balanced out the sweetness of the scones perfectly.
