Directions Royal Cherry Scones
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Place a baking sheet in the oven to warm.
Rub 1/4 cup butter into flour in a bowl until mixture resembles fine bread crumbs. Stir in sugar. Stir cherries into flour mixture until evenly distributed, mix in wheat germ.
Mix milk into dough and knead lightly until just smooth. Roll out on a lightly floured surface to approximately 3/4-inch thickness. Stamp out crescent shapes using a 2 1/2-inch fluted cutter, kneading, re-rolling, and cutting dough until it is all used up.
Place scones on the preheated baking sheet, brush tops with 2 tablespoons milk.
Bake in the preheated oven until golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Serve immediately, split scones and spread with remaining butter.
