Buttermilk And Sour Cherry Scones For Afternoon Tea And Picnics
- 250 g plain flour
- salt
- 2 tablespoons golden granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
- 150 ml buttermilk
- 50 ml milk
- 75 g dried sour cherries
- Preheat the oven to 200 C/190 C fan/Gas Mark 5. Dust a baking sheet with flour.
- Sieve together the flour, salt, sugar and bicarbonate of soda. Mix together the buttermilk and milk. Make a well in the centre and pour on the buttermilk mixture. Mix well until the dough is even, and stir in the sour cherries.
- To shape for cooking, set the dough on a floured surface and turn around in your hands, until you have a neat round shape. Use a floured knife to score the surface into 4 or 6 sections.
- Transfer to the floured baking sheet and bake for 20 - 25 minutes. Set aside on a rack to cool. Best eaten straight away, but can be stored for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
