Irish Dried Cherry Buttermilk Scones
I love pretty, tasty, desserts! English teas and such are wonderful! i think that these scones will enhance any garden party that you are giving.
Steps
In a bowl whisk together 1 / 2 cup of the buttermilk , the egg , the brown sugar , and the vanilla until the mixture is combined well.
In another bowl stir together the flour , the baking powder , the baking soda , and the salt and blend in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
Stir in the cherries and the buttermilk mixture with a fork until the mixture just forms a sticky but manageable dough.
Knead the dough gently for 30 seconds on a lightly floured surface , pat it into a 3 / 4-inch-thick round , and cut it into 8 wedges.
On an ungreased baking sheet brush the wedges with the remaining 1 / 4 cup buttermilk and sprinkle them with the granulated sugar.
Bake the scones in the middle of a preheated 400f oven for 15 to 18 minutes , or until they are golden.
