Bake tender scones bursting with sweet cherries and rich chocolate chunks. These treats are perfect for a cozy morning or an afternoon snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream, plus more for brushing
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup dried cherries
  • 1/2 cup good quality chocolate chunks

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, egg, and vanilla extract.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the dried cherries and chocolate chunks gently.
  7. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Pat or lightly roll the dough into a 3/4-inch thick circle or rectangle.
  8. Cut the dough into 8 equal wedges or use a round cutter for scones. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  9. Brush the tops lightly with a little extra heavy cream.
  10. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
  11. Let the scones cool slightly on a wire rack before serving warm.

Notes

  • Keep your butter very cold for the flakiest scones.
  • Handle the dough as little as possible; overworking develops gluten, making tough scones.
  • You can use fresh or frozen cherries if you drain them very well first. Adjust baking time slightly if using frozen.
  • For extra flavor, add 1/2 teaspoon of almond extract with the vanilla.
