Buttermilk-Cherry Scones
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup chilled stick margarine or butter, cut into small pieces
- 2/3 cup dried tart cherries
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 1/2 cup low-fat or nonfat buttermilk
- Cooking spray
- 1 large egg white, lightly beaten
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- Preheat oven to 400u0b0.
- Combine first 5 ingredients in a bowl; cut in margarine with a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add cherries, and toss well. Combine egg and buttermilk; add to dry ingredients, stirring just until moistened (dough will be sticky).
- Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface; with floured hands, knead 4 or 5 times. Pat dough into an 8-inch circle on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Cut into 12 wedges, cutting to but not through bottom of dough. Brush with egg white, and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon sugar. Bake at 400u0b0 for 15 minutes or until golden. Serve hot.
