Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 2 cups Flour; 1 teaspoon Baking Powder; 1/2 teaspoons Baking Soda; 1/4 teaspoons Salt; 2 Tablespoons Sugar; 1 stick Cold Butter, Cut Into Small Pieces; 3/4 cups Buttermilk; 3/4 cups Chocolate Chips; 1 cup Whole, Drained Maraschino Cherries; 2 drops Red Food Coloring (optional)

Servings: persons

2 cups Flour
1 teaspoon Baking Powder
1/2 teaspoons Baking Soda
1/4 teaspoons Salt
2 Tablespoons Sugar
1 stick Cold Butter, Cut Into Small Pieces
3/4 cups Buttermilk
3/4 cups Chocolate Chips
1 cup Whole, Drained Maraschino Cherries
2 drops Red Food Coloring (optional)

1
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Grease a baking sheet.
2
Cut cherries into eighths and set aside. Mix the first 5 ingredients (flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, sugar) in a large mixing bowl. Cut in butter with a pastry blender until crumbly. Add buttermilk, chocolate chips, and cherries (and food coloring if using), stirring until all of the flour mixture is well combined. (If still very dry, add a more buttermilk a tablespoon at a time.) Dough will be slightly sticky.
3
Put dough on a lightly floured surface (better yet, a Silpat) and pat into a circle about 1/2 inch thick. Use a 1-2 inch round or heart-shaped cookie cutter and cut out scones. Place 1 inch apart on a lightly greased cookie sheet. Bake at 400 degrees for 12-15 minutes until the edges are very lightly browned.
4
You can serve this with butter, clotted cream, or jam. Keep in an airtight container for 3-4 days. Best if warmed in the microwave for a few seconds before eating to melt the chocolate.
5
Makes about 1.5 dozen medium-sized scones.
