Ingredients

Scale

Scones:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup fresh or dried cherries, chopped

Cherry Vanilla Glaze:

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cherry juice (from mashed cherries)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt ensuring even distribution for a consistent rise.
  3. Incorporate Butter: Cut in the cold, cubed unsalted butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs; this creates the flaky texture of scones.
  4. Combine Wet Ingredients and Form Dough: In a separate bowl, whisk the heavy cream, large egg, and vanilla extract. Add this mixture to the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined to avoid overmixing the dough.
  5. Add Cherries and Shape Dough: Fold in the chopped cherries evenly. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and shape it into a circle about 1-inch thick. Cut into 8 equal wedges.
  6. Bake the Scones: Arrange the wedges on the prepared baking sheet with space between each. Bake for 18-22 minutes or until the scones turn golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Prepare the Cherry Vanilla Glaze: While the scones cool on a wire rack, mix the powdered sugar, cherry juice, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth and drizzle-able.
  8. Glaze and Serve: Drizzle the glaze over the cooled scones for a glossy, flavorful finish. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • For best results, use cold butter to create flaky scones.
  • Fresh cherries can be substituted with dried cherries; rehydrate in warm water if desired for softer texture.
  • Ensure not to overmix the dough to keep scones tender.
  • Cherry juice for the glaze can be freshly squeezed from mashed cherries or store-bought for convenience.
  • Store leftover scones in an airtight container for up to 2 days; reheat gently before serving.
