Dried Cherry Scones are an adorable Valentine's Day breakfast! These homemade scones are super easy to make and will have your entire family feeling the love.
0 Preheat oven to 400 F.
1 Whisk the first four ingredients together in a large bowl.
2 Add the butter to the flour mixture and mix with either your fingertips, a pastry blender, or two knives until it forms the texture of coarse meal.
3 Add the milk and cherries and mix gently until just incorporated (the dough may look a bit dry, but allow it sit for a few minutes and the flour will soak up all the milk).
4 Place dough on a lightly floured surface and gently press into a 1″ thick circle.
5 Cut out scones using a heart shaped cookie cutter.
6 Place scones on a parchment lined baking sheet and brush with beaten egg or heavy cream, if desired (this will give the scones a golden crust)*.
7 Bake in oven for 25 minutes.
8 Move immediately to a wire cooling rack and serve.
