FRESH CHERRY SCONES

Aug.posted by Paula 48 Comments

Fresh Cherry Scones are buttery and flaky with a pop of fresh cherries. These delicious and decadent breakfast scones are just the thing to get your day started right.

I love to bake.  My favorite go-to, tried-and-true recipes are Amaretta Pound Cake, Easy Strawberry Cake or Key Lime Cake.

But, I love baking just for the fun of it. I like to experiment. I’ll be honest, I’ve only made scones a couple of times. I had purchased fresh cherries and was trying to think of a recipe that I could use them in that Ryder would eat. He’ll usually try anything, but insisted that he had tried cherries before and didn’t like them. {Funny that he always wants the cherry out of my cocktail though!}

Ultimately, he give a good review of the ‘biscuit’ part. He said, ‘Mommie, this is just a biscuit that you put cherries and icing on.’

To-may-toe. To-mah-toe. Biscuit. Scone. eh, whatever…

    Hello! I was just curious, did you use WHOLE cherries that you pitted? Or did you cut them up? I’m making these today so if you could respond ASAP that would be fantastic! 🙂

      Yes, I used whole fresh cherries, pitted and I chopped them a little – so there were still big chunks of cherries. hope you enjoy!
