Perfect fresh from the oven.This is our Sour Cherry Scone recipe. It really is a wonderful alternative to your classic tea party plain scone or raisin scone. This recipe makes a really big cherry scone which you can then divide out into 4 or 6 pieces and then enjoy with a cup of tea and maybe even some clotted cream. Method Preheat the oven to 200°C (190°C fan, gas mark 5). Dust a baking sheet with flour. Sieve together the flour, salt, sugar and bicarbonate of soda. Mix together the buttermilk and milk. Make a well in the centre and pour on the buttermilk mixture. Mix well until the dough is even, and stir in the sour cherries. To shape for cooking, set the dough on a floured surface and turn around in your hands, until you have a neat round shape. Use a floured knife to score the surface into 4 or 6 sections. Transfer to the floured baking sheet and bake for 20 - 25 minutues. Set aside on a rack to cool. Best eaten straight away, but can be stored for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
