Ingredients
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 4 cups flour
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 ½ cups cherries fresh or frozen see notes
- 1 cup chocolate chips mini or regular size
- 1 cup butter
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a medium-sized bowl combine the sour cream and baking soda together.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
- Cut in the butter using two knives scissor style or with a pastry blender until it resembles coarse peas in the flour mixture.
- Add in the sour cream and beaten egg, gently mixing until it's almost together.
- Once the mixture is this close to being completely combined, add in the chocolate chips. Mix gently again. Add in the cherries and mix gently until throughout the dough.
- Scoop the dough together and roll it into one large log. Cut the log into three pieces. Flatten each round disk into a 6-inch circle that is about one inch thick, then cut into 6 equal triangles.
- Take your 18 scones and place on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake until the scones are light golden brown on the top and the bottom ( don't overbake them), approximately 20 minutes.
- Remove and cool on a baking rack. Store in a closed container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze in a freezer-safe container or bag for up to 3 months.

Notes
- For both fresh or frozen cherries, chop and place on paper towels to absorb any excess moisture before adding to the dough.
