These buttery scones, dotted with dried cherries and vanilla chips, are so sweet and flaky that I even serve them for dessert. -Pamela Brooks, South Berwick, Maine Ingredients:
3 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/2 cup sugar |
2-1/2 teaspoons baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
6 tablespoons cold butter |
1 cup (8 ounces) vanilla yogurt |
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons milk, divided |
1-1/3 cups dried cherries |
2/3 cup white baking chips |
coarse sugar, optional |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and baking soda. Cut in butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Combine yogurt and 1/4 cup milk; stir into crumb mixture just until moistened. Knead in the cherries and chips.
2. On a greased baking sheet, pat the dough into a 9-in. circle. Cut into eight wedges; separate wedges. Brush with remaining milk. If desired, sprinkle with sugar. Bake at 400° for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm. Yield: 8 servings.
