Balsamic Cherry & Dark Chocolate Chunk Scones
- 3/4 cups All-purpose Flour
- 3/4 cups White Whole Wheat Flour
- 2-1/2 teaspoons Baking Powder
- 1/4 teaspoons Baking Soda
- 1/4 teaspoons Salt
- 2 Tablespoons Brown Sugar
- 6 Tablespoons Cold Unsalted Butter
- 1 whole Large Egg Yolk
- 1/3 cups Cold Buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla
- 3 Tablespoons Balsamic Vinegar
- 1 cup Fresh Cherries, Pitted And Halved
- 1/2 cups Dark Chocolate Chunks
- 1 Tablespoon Natural Cane Sugar, For Sprinkling On Top
- Preheat oven to 425 F.
- In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flours, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and brown sugar. Cut in cold butter. Here's a hint, it's just easier to use your hands to mash the butter into the dry mix. It should look like coarse sand when you are done.
- In another bowl whisk egg yolk, buttermilk and vanilla and set aside.
- Put the balsamic vinegar and cherries in a medium skillet over medium high heat. Heat until reduced. This should take about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat and let cool for about 5 minutes before adding them to the dough mixture.
- Stir the wet mixture into the dry mixture, until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chunks and the balsamic cherries.
- On a floured surface, shape dough into a 1 1/2-inch thick round. With a sharp knife, cut the round into 8 equal wedges. Using a hard spatula, carefully transfer wedges to a pizza stone or parchment-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle cane sugar over the top of each wedge.
- Place into the preheated oven, on a middle rack, and bake for 16-18 minutes.
