There are few things more wonderful than opening Christmas presents (or watching the kids open theirs) while enjoying a warm, delicious breakfast. Of course, avoiding a mess is nice, too. That’s why we love this fast and simple recipe for delicious Buttermilk and Cherry Scones. They’re especially tasty with Chukar’s Red Sour Cherry or Raspberry Cherry Preserves!
Buttermilk and Dried Cherry Scones
Ingredients:
Directions:Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees. In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, dried cherries, and lemon zest. Cut in butter until it is in pea-sized pieces. Quickly stir in the buttermilk and turn onto floured board. Knead dough until it just comes together, about 3 to 5 minutes. Divide dough into 3 balls and flatten to 1-inch thick. Beat egg and 1 tablespoon water and brush over dough. Score into quarters with a knife. Place the rounds on a baking sheet and bake until golden brown, about 10 to 15 minutes. Yields 12 scones.
