Cherry Scones

METHOD

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.

Place the Scone Mix into a mixing bowl and add 205ml of water.

Mix with a wooden spoon until a soft dough has formed.

Add the floured cherries and blend through.

Roll out your dough to approximately 2.5cm thickness.

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.

Finally, the best bit ……an outing for your best china and time to eat them!
