Quick and Easy Chocolate Cherry Scone Recipe

Makes 12 scones

Prep Time: 15 min.; Bake Time: 15 min.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour OR
    • 2 cups Krusteaz Gluten-free all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1 Tbsp. baking powder
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • ½ cup cold butter, cut into ½-inch cubes
  • ¼ cup dried cherries, coarsely chopped
  • 3 oz. semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
  • 1 cup whipping cream, divided
  • wax paper

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F.
  2. Stir together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Cut butter into flour mixture with a pastry blender until crumbly and mixture resembles small peas. Freeze 5 minutes.
