Chocolate Cherry Scones
MAKES 12
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 3/4 cup semisweet mini chocolate chips
- 3/4 cup roughly chopped dried cherries
- 1 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream (plus more for brushing tops)
- 1 tablespoon demerara or coarse sparkling sugar
Directions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in chocolate chips and cherries.
- Pour heavy cream over dry ingredients, and mix with a fork.
- Scrape down sides of bowl and transfer sticky dough onto a lightly floured surface. Using clean hands, bring mixture together and knead a few times until fully combined, but do not overwork. Divide dough in half and pat into two disks about 4 inches in diameter and 1 1/2 inches thick.
- Brush the top of each disk with a little cream. Sprinkle with demerara or sparkling sugar. Cut each disk into 6 wedges and space evenly on prepared baking sheet.
- Bake 15 to 17 minutes or until tops are lightly browned.
