Source of Recipe


From "Southern Living Homestyle Cooking"



List of Ingredients



• 2 cups all-purpose flour
  
• 1 Tbsp baking powder
  
• ½ tsp salt
  
• ¼ cup sugar
  
• ¾ cup chopped dried cherries
  
• 1 Tbsp grated lemon rind
  
• 1¼ cups whipping cream
  
• 2 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  
• 2 Tbsp sugar
  
• 1 tsp grated lemon rind
  






Instructions



1. Combine first four ingredients in a large bowl. Stir in cherries and 1 tablespoon lemon rind. Add whipping cream, stirring with a fork just until dry ingredients are moistened.
   
   
2. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured suface; knead lightly four or five times, just until dough holds together. Pat dough into an 8-inch circle on an ungreased baking sheet. Cut dough into 8 wedges; separate wedges slightly. Brush with melted butter. Combine 2 tablespoons sugar and 1 teaspoon lemon rind; sprinkle over dough.
   
   
3. Bake at 400° F for 23 minutes, or until golden.
   Remove from pan. Serve warm, or cool on a wire rack.
