Dried Cherry Scones
Dried Cherry Scones are an adorable Valentine's Day breakfast! These homemade scones are super easy to make and will have your entire family feeling the love.
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, chilled and chopped
- 3/4 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup dried cherries
- 1 egg, beaten or 1 tablespoon heavy cream*(See step 7)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 F.
- Whisk the first four ingredients together in a large bowl.
- Add the butter to the flour mixture and mix with either your fingertips, a pastry blender, or two knives until it forms the texture of coarse meal.
- Add the milk and cherries and mix gently until just incorporated (the dough may look a bit dry, but allow it sit for a few minutes and the flour will soak up all the milk).
- Place dough on a lightly floured surface and gently press into a 1″ thick circle.
- Cut out scones using a heart shaped cookie cutter.
- Place scones on a parchment lined baking sheet and brush with beaten egg or heavy cream, if desired (this will give the scones a golden crust)*.
- Bake in oven for 25 minutes.
- Move immediately to a wire cooling rack and serve.
