Cherry Scones

Ingredients

For scones you will need:

2 cups AP flour

½ cup sugar

2 teaspoons baking powder

¼ teaspoon fine sea salt

6 tablespoons unsalted butter, chopped

¾ cups whipping cream

¼ cup milk

1/3 cup cherry preserves

For glaze you will need:

Juice of ½ lemon

1 cup powdered sugar

1 tablespoon water

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

In food processor combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and butter. Transfer to a medium bowl, and gradually stir in cream and milk until a soft dough forms. Roll out dough on a well floured surface, about ½-inch thick. Using a round cookie cutter, cut out the dough and place on prepared baking sheets. Next, using your index finger or a small, round spoon, gently make an indentation in the center of each pastry. Fill with about ½ teaspoon of cherry preserves, and bake for about 18-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden. Transfer onto a cooling rack.

For the glaze, combine lemon juice, powdered sugar and water in a small bowl. Using a teaspoon, drizzle glaze over each scone and let the glazed set, about 30 minutes.
