Instructions
Scones
- Step 1
Preheat the oven 400 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Step 2
Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment.
- Step 3
Add in the cubes of cold butter and mix on low speed until the butter is pea-sized.
- Step 4
Then, add in the yogurt, heavy cream, and vanilla. Mix until just combined.
- Step 5
Fold in the cherries by hand, careful not to overmix.
- Step 6
Dump the dough out onto the prepared baking sheet and mold into a circle about 1'' in thickness. Chill in the freezer for about 5-10 minutes.
- Step 7
Cut the scones into four pieces and separate them slightly to give them room to expand. Brush the tops of the scones with heavy cream and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
- Step 8
Bake the scones for 20-25 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and the center of the scones are baked all the way through.
Glaze
- Step 9
While the scones bake, make the glaze by mashing the cherries in a strainer over a bowl to squeeze as much juice out as you can.
- Step 10
Whisk in the powdered sugar and vanilla. Add a splash of cream if you would like to thin it out more.
- Step 11
Drizzle the glaze over the scones and enjoy!
