Ingredients:

Directions:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In the bowl of a food processor fit with a steel blade, process the first 5 ingredients just to blend. Add in the unsalted butter and process until a coarse meal forms. Add in the sour cream and vanilla and process until a dough forms. Remove the mixture from the bowl and turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead in the dried cherries until they are well incorporated - about 10 turns. Cut the dough in half and shape each half into a ball. Press down into a round and gently roll each round into a circle about one half inch in thickness. Cut each circle into eight wedges.

Transfer the wedges onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Brush them with the beaten egg and sprinkle a little of the brown sugar on each scone. Bake about 12 minutes or until golden. Serve warm with jam and butter.

Makes: 16 Scones
