These scones are bursting with cherry goodness. They puff up when cooked and can be made in less than 30 minutes — start to finish.
Ingredients:

1 spray(s) cooking spray
2 cup(s) all-purpose flour
1 Tbsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp table salt
1/4 cup(s) sugar
1 large egg(s), beaten
1 cup(s) buttermilk
1/4 cup(s) butter, melted
2/3 cup(s) dried cherries, thinly sliced

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 400ºF. Coat a cookie sheet with cooking spray.

In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar; mix well and set aside. In another bowl, whisk together egg, buttermilk and melted butter. Stir wet ingredients into dry ingredients until just combined; fold in cherries.

Drop 12 equal two-inch mounds of batter on prepared cookie sheet about 1-inch apart. Bake until tops just start to turn golden, about 12 to 15 minutes. Yields: 1 scone per serving.
