Chocolate Cherry Scones

Ingredients:

2 1/2 Cups Baking Mix

1/2  Cup Dark Cocoa Powder

1/2 Cup Sugar

1 1/2 Cups Dried Cherries

3/4 Cup Buttermilk

Drizzle:

1/2 Cup Dark Chocolate Chips, Melted

In a large bowl whisk together all dry ingredients, add buttermilk until moist, knead 8~10 times on a floured cutting board. Roll or pat out to 1/2 “thick. Cut dough with 4” round cookie cutter or for rustic scones cut into large squares. 

Place dough onto parchment paper lines baking sheet, place into 450 degree oven and bake for 8~10 minutes. Remove from oven and place scones onto cooling rack. 

Melt chocolate chips in small saucepan with either a touch of heavy cream or butter until you get the right consistency to drizzle chocolate with a fork. Drizzle melted chocolate over scones.

Serve with a nice English tea…

Enjoy!

I love chocolate and this is one way I get to enjoy it. Plus the cherries and chocolate drizzle add another layer to the scone. I like to eat warm just out of the oven; sometimes I serve with eggs and fruit.  But always with English breakfast tea!

I’m passionate about my cooking and food.
