Cherry Chocolate Scones

Servings :8 scones

Ingredients
  

  • 100 g whole wheat flour
  • 180 g all-purpose white flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 60 g white sugar
  • 80 g butter (chilled)
  • 125 ml milk (chilled)
  • 125 g cour cream (chilled)
  • 150 g cherries (pitted and chopped)
  • 50 g dark chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • Pre-heat your oven to 375F - 190C and line a large baking tray with parchment paper. Sprinkle the parchment paper with a thin layer of flour and place aside.
  • Combine the flours, salt, baking powder, baking soda and sugar in a bowl and mix well.
  • Add the cherries and chocolate chips and mix.
  • Grate the chilled butter (I chilled mine in the freezer for 30 minutes before use) on a large grater and place it in the flour mix.
  • Using a fork, mix the butter with the flour until the mix looks sandy.
  • Stir in the milk and sour cream and give it a quick mix with the fork until a dough forms. Don't knead the dough at all!
  • Transfer the dough on your prepared baking pan and gather it into a round without kneading it, as thick as 1-inch. Add a sprinkle of flour if the dough it's sticky.
  • Using a knife sprinkled with flour, cut the round of dough into triangles and carefully separate the scones out on your baking tray.
  • Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown and well risen.
  • Allow them to cool in the pan before serving.
