Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour or plain flour
- ¼ cup light brown sugar firmly packed
- 2 tablespoon granulated sugar or caster sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¼ cup dark chocolate chips or solid chocolate finely chopped
- ½ cup Cherry about 10 medium-sized cherries, pitted and quartered, fresh
- 1½ cups heavy cream or double cream
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200C/180C Fan) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, salt, spices and sugars.
- Add the chopped cherries and chocolate chips, stir through the flour mixture.
- Slowly add the heavy cream, a little at a time until the mixture comes together into a dough. You will likely need between 1 and 1¼ cup. Reserve the remaining cream to brush the top of the scones before baking.
- Once the dough has come together, tip out onto a lightly floured surface and knead lightly once or twice to form a round. Press this into a circle, roughly 8" round and 1" thick.
- Using a sharp knife or dough scraper, cut this into 8 triangles (like pizza slices).
- Place these a couple inches apart on the baking sheet and brush with the reserved heavy cream. Top with extra chocolate chips and/or coarse brown sugar (optional).
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack.
