Chocolate Cherry Cream Scones
2 c. all-purpose flour
1 T. baking powder
1/2 t. salt
1/4 c. sugar
1/4 c. mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 c. dried cherries, chopped
1-1/4 c. whipping cream
Garnish: additional cream, coarse sugar
(Recipe from 101 Christmas Recipes)
Combine flour, baking powder, salt and sugar in a bowl; whisk to blend well. Add chocolate chips and cherries. Stir dry ingredients while pouring in cream, continuing to stir until a soft, sticky dough is formed. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead 8 to 10 times. Pat dough into a circle 1/2-inch to 3/4-inch thick; cut into 8 wedges. Place wedges one inch apart on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Brush with cream; sprinkle generously with coarse sugar. Bake at 425 degrees until golden and springy to the touch, about 15 minutes. Makes 8.
