Cherry Cornmeal Scones
If you like sweet cornbread, you will love these scones! The cornmeal provides a nice taste and texture; the dried cherries give wonderful bursts of cherry sweetness.
Recipe type: Dessert | Scones
Prep time:  20 mins
Cook time:  25 mins
Total time:  45 mins
Recipe Notes
Pan: One Large Baking Sheet Pan Prep: Greased or Parchment Lined Oven Temp: 425° Yield: 12 Scones Storage: Tightly Wrapped, Room Temperature
Ingredients
Dough:
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ⅔ 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
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Baking sheet may be ungreased, lined with parchment paper, or lined with a non-stick baking mat.
Dough:
  1. In a medium mixing bowl, add flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; whisk together to mix. Add ⅔ cup sugar and cornmeal to the flour mixture; whisk together.
  2. 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. If necessary, turn the mixture onto a lightly floured pastry mat or pastry board and knead gently just until the flour is combined. Do not over-knead as this will make a tougher scone.
  3. 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:
  1. Sprinkle ½ teaspoon sugar on top of each scone.
  2. 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 cooling racks.

Easter Coconut Cake

April 16, 2019 By Carol Arroyo

Save Print Easter Coconut Cake A coconut custard cake all dressed for Easter. I purchased the cute Easter sprinkles at a local cake decorating shop. I made one mistake on this cake; when making the white chocolate drip I was rushed for time and simply melted the candy melts instead of making a ganache. This […]

Lemony Carrot Cake

Save Print Lemony Carrot Cake A simple carrot cake flavored with a touch of cinnamon and crushed pineapple, and wowed with a lemony cream cheese filling. I used American Buttercream for the frosting, but Swiss Meringue Buttercream or Flour Buttercream would also be delicious. Recipe type: Dessert | Oil Cake | Layer Cake Prep time:  45 […]
