Cherry Scones (V, V+ option)

Directions

• Step 1 In a large bowl add the dry ingredients: flour, both sugars, baking powder, and baking soda.
• Step 2 In a smaller bowl, add the sour cream and the egg and mix.
• Step 3 Prep the cherries: if frozen blend in a food processor to get some chunks. If fresh, pit the cherries and cut them into smaller pieces.
• Step 4 Taking the frozen butter, grate to form small light curls.
• Step 5 Then add the light swirls of butter to the dry mix and slowly mix together using a fork, and then when all butter seems to be coated, use your hand to gently mix together.
• Step 6 Next, add the wet sour cream/egg mixture to the dry mixture and partially mix using your hand.
• Step 7 Then before completely mixed in, add the cherries and mix together to form a single loose form.
• Step 8 *Each time you mix, do it gently so as not to overmix. This will keep the baked scone lighter.
• Step 9 Coat a surface lightly with flour and place your mound of dough.
• Step 10 Gently press into a round flat circle about 8″ – 10″ in diameter.
• Step 11 Cut into 8 pieces and place on a piece of parchment paper on a tray.
• Step 12 Bake at 390°F for 18 minutes.
• Step 13 For the Glaze:
• Step 14 Sift the confectioner sugar into a bowl and add the vanilla.
• Step 15 Then 1 teaspoon at a time, add the liquid and stir. Add enough liquid to get the consistency you would like.
• Step 16 Once the scones are out of the oven, drizzle the glaze over them and Enjoy!
