Equipment

Ingredients

2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ cup caster sugar
½ cup butter, very cold, cut into cubes
½ cup glacé cherries, roughly chopped
¾ cup milk, cold

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180°C / 350°F and line a baking tray with parchment pepper.
In a bowl, mix flour, baking powder, sugar and salt until combined.
Rub the butter into the flour mixture with your hands until the mixture becomes like crumbles. Fold in cherries.
Now, add the milk and mix just to combine, then transfer the dough to the floured surface, and roll it until about 2cm thick.
Use a cookie cutter to cut out the scones and move them into the baking sheet.
Brush the tops with milk and then bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden.

Notes

Don’t overmix the dough; mix only until it just comes together.
