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 are a bit time-consuming to make, but they're definitely worth the effort. They're so light and fluffy, and the cherries add a delicious burst of flavor.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my scones turned out really crumbly. They were still tasty, but they didn't hold together very well.

I'm not a big fan of scones, but these were actually really good! The cherries added a nice sweetness and the scones were very moist.

I love these scones! They're so easy to make and they always turn out perfect. I usually add a little bit of cinnamon sugar to the top before baking, and they're even better that way.
