Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour 500 ml
1/3 cup sugar 80 ml
1 1/2 tsp baking powder 7 ml
1/2 tsp baking soda 2 ml
6 tbsp chilled butter 90 ml - cut into small pieces
2/3 cup dried sour cherries 160 ml
1/2 cup buttermilk 125 ml
1 tsp vanilla extract 5 ml
1 large egg

Instructions

Sift the dry ingredients together into a large mixing bowl.
Cut the butter into the flour mixture using a pastry blender or the tines of a fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the remaining ingredients to form a soft dough, mixing as little as possible.
Pat the dough into an 8-inch (20 cm) circle on an ungreased baking sheet.
Cut into 8 wedges using a serrated knife.
Bake in a preheated 400F (200C) oven for 18 to 20 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center of one of the scones comes out clean.
Cool slightly before serving.
