Black Cherry Scones

Yields: about 10 drop scones

8 tbsp. unsalted butter, cut into cubes and frozen

2 cups flour

1/2 cup sugar

2 tsp. baking powder

1/4 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp. kosher salt

1/2 cup sour cream

1/2 cup whole milk

1 1/2 cups fresh cherries, pitted and halved

1) Preheat the oven to 400 F. Combine all of the dry ingredients in a large bowl.

2) Fold in the frozen cubed butter and use a pastry cutter to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse meal, but do this fast so that the butter does not melt.

3) In a large measuring cup, whisk together the sour cream and milk together to combine then add to the butter mixture. Stir with a wooden spoon until just combined.

4) Use a large ice cream scoop to drop the dough onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Bake for 15 – 20 minutes or until golden brown.
