Step #1
METHOD: (Makes 8 Scones): Set the oven to 220°C, (430°F) or gas mark 7. Rinse the cherries in a sieve under running water then roll in a little flour - to stop them sinking.
Step #2
Place the Scone Mix into a mixing bowl and add 205ml of water.
Step #3
Mix with a wooden spoon until a soft dough has formed.
Step #4
Add the floured cherries and blend through. Roll out your dough to approximately 2.5cm thickness.
Step #5
Cut 12 scones with a 6cm cutter and place on a baking tray. Brush the top of the fruited scones with milk or beaten egg, placing them closely together but not touching, on a lightly greased or pre-lined baking tray and pop them into your pre-heated oven for 10 - 12 minutes until they are golden brown.
Step #6
Finally, the best bit ......an outing for your best china and time to eat them!
