    Dried Cherry Scones


    Source of Recipe


    internet

    List of Ingredients




    1/2 cup dried tart red cherries
    2 tablespoons apricot nectar or cherry brandy
    2 cups flour
    3 tablespoons sugar
    1 tablespoon baking powder
    6 tablespoons chilled butter
    1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts, toasted
    1 beaten egg
    1/3 cup light cream or milk
    1 beaten egg

    Recipe



    In small bowl, combine dried cherries and brandy or apricot nectar. Let stand 15 min. In a bowl, stir together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Cut in butter. Add walnuts or pecans; toss until mixed. Make a well in the center of dry mixture.

    In small bowl stir together the egg and milk or cream. Add the egg mixture and the cherry mixture to dry mixture all at once. Using a fork, stir until moistened. Knead on floured surface 12-15 strokes. Cut into desired shapes. (I just cut into traditional wedges, but this can be made into a drop recipe by increasing the liquid to 1/2 c.) Brush tops with milk, sprinkle with sugar. Bake at 400ºF for 12-15 minutes.
