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.

These scones were just okay. They were a little dry and bland for my taste. I think I would add some more sugar and butter next time. Otherwise, they were very easy to make.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my scones turned out really dense. They were still tasty, but they weren't as light and fluffy as I was hoping for. I'll have to try again.

These scones were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would add a little more buttermilk next time. Otherwise, they were very good. The dried cherries added a nice sweetness and the scones were very light and fluffy.
