Cherry Berry Scones

Print Recipe Card   

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees, line two baking sheets with foil

1. Cut up fruit (if using cherries) and set aside in small bowl.
2. Measure dry ingredients and add to food processor. Pulse until combined.
3. Add butter a little at a time and pulse until mixture looks like coarse sand.
4. Pour mixture into medium sized bowl. Add buttermilk until just combined, then add fruit.
5. Use a measuring spoon if desired, to have even looking proper scones. Or you can roll them by hand into blobs that look alike. I made one tray smaller so that it would be more kid friendly.
6. Place scones on prepared baking sheet, brush tops with buttermilk or milk, then sprinkle sugar on top.
7. Bake for 10-15 minutes depending on size. They should be slightly golden brown. Remove and cool on a wire rack.
8. Best eaten fresh from the oven with a bit of butter and not a white shirt. We have a tub full of morning pajamas with berry stains!
