Ingredients

Dough:

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

½ teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon salt

2/3 cup granulated sugar

1½ cups yellow cornmeal

1 cup unsalted butter, chilled, cut into small pieces

¾ cups dried sweet cherries

1 cup buttermilk, chilled

Topping:

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

Directions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Lightly grease baking sheets, or line baking sheets with parchment paper.

Dough:

In a medium bowl, add flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; whisk together to mix. Add 2/3 cup sugar and cornmeal to the flour mixture; whisk together.

With a pastry blender or two knives, cut butter into the flour mixture until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in cherries. Add buttermilk; stir just until mixed. The dough will be stiff and slightly sticky.

Shape the dough into balls about 2¼ inches in diameter. Place balls 2 inches apart on baking sheets, and flatten just slightly to about 1½ inch thick.

Topping:

Sprinkle ½ teaspoon sugar on top of each scone.

Bake:

Place baking sheets in oven and immediately turn the oven temperature down to 375 degrees F. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until the scones are lightly browned. Remove scones from baking sheets and cool on wire racks.
