A perfect recipe for weekend brunch since you can prepare the dough beforehand: the dough will keep in the freezer up to 3 weeks!
Directions
Line a 11x17-inch cookie sheet with parchment paper.
Combine all the dry ingredients with cherries into a bowl of electric mixer.
Add the butter and mix on medium-low speed until ingredients resemble coarse meal.
Add the buttermilk until blended.
Turn the dough out on a floured surface and work into a 16x3 1/2x1 1/2-inch rectangle. Score the rectangle into ten rectangles, cover with plastic wrap and freeze 2 hours. (NOTE: This prevents the scones from spreading when you bake them.)
Heat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Remove the scones from freezer. Cut into triangles with a sharp knife. Place on the prepared backing sheet 2 inches apart. Then, brush with the heavy cream and sprinkle with some sugar.
Bake until lightly golden. It takes about 30 minutes.
