Scones, people, scones! We love a lot of cherries in our house and I decided to combine my favorites - lemon and cherry. I made this for breakfast and it was so good!
Ingredients
Flour - 1 and 3 tablespoons (I used spelt flour, all purpose flour should work just fine)
Sugar - 1 1/2 tablespoon
Baking powder - 1/2 teaspoon
Baking soda - 1/2 teaspoon
Salt - pinch
Lemon zest - 1 tsp (freshly grated)
Butter - 1/4 cup
Egg - 1/2 of one egg (save other half for egg wash)
Buttermilk -1/4 cup
Brown sugar - 1 table spoon
Preheat oven to 400 degree Fahrenheit. Combine flour, sugar, lemon zest, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a bowl. Grate the butter into it. Work with your fingers until the mixture has small parts of butter incorporated evenly. Beat an egg in a bowl, take only half of it and mix it will buttermilk. Add this mixture into the flour butter mixture along with roughly chopped cherries. Form a dough by kneading 10-15 times, just until it comes together. If you feel you dough is sticky, feel free to add a tablespoon more flour. Now, place it on to the lined baking pan and pat into a circle, finally, cut into 8 (no need to separate them), just like a pizza. Brush the egg and sprinkle the brown sugar. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the top is slightly browned.
I wanted to take more pictures, but they were gone in no time! They are soft in the inside, not overly sweet, but has a pastry effect on the crust from the egg wash and brown sugar. These are so delicious, you are gonna love it!
Enjoy with tea or coffee!
Cheers,
Anjana
