Easy delicious Cherry Scones! So quick to make, moist, light, and stuffed with grace cherries.

Ingredients

  • 225 g Self-Raising Flour sieved
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder level
  • 25 g Caster sugar
  • 50 g Butter
  • 1 Egg Free Range
  • Milk
  • 100 g Glace Cherries cut into halves
  • 25 g Milk For glazing

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 200C Fan / 225C / Gas 7
  • Grab a baking tray and either grease it or use baking paper
  • In a mixing bowl sift your self rising flour, baking powder and then add your caster sugar and give it a stir
  • Next add your chilled butter and using your finger tips rub the butter into the flour mix, it should resemble breadcrumbs
    Butter flour sugar cherry scones
  • Add your halved (or chopped - up to you) grace cherries to the flour mix and give it a stir
  • Next in a measuring jug break your egg and make the level up to 150ml with milk ( 150ml should be your total liquid weight including your milk )
  • Next add your egg & milk mix and using a knife bring it together to a dough - do not over mix
  • Tip your mix out onto a floured surface and pat down to approx 1 inch / 2.5 cm thickness (do not use a rolling pin)
  • Using a 2 inch / 5cm cutter punch out 6 scones and pop them spread out on your baking sheet (there are always bits of dough left - pull them together and bake alongside the scone - they are yours :-) )
  • Using a pastry brush, brush a little milk onto the tops, do not glaze the sides
  • Bake for 12- 14 minutes in your preheated oven until golden
  • Remove from the oven and allow to cool on a wire tray - enjoy!
