Scones are a traditional British pastry that can be traced back to the 16th century. They are typically enjoyed for breakfast or as a snack with tea or coffee. This recipe puts a twist on the classic scone by adding Griottines, sweet-tart cherries that add a pop of flavor to the buttery scone. These scones are easy to make and are sure to impress your guests at any brunch or breakfast gathering.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2.	In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder.
3.	Work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse meal.
4.	Stir in the Griottines.
5.	In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and sugar.
6.	Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until a sticky dough forms.
7.	Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and shape into a round about 1 inch thick.
8.	Cut the round into 8-12 wedges and transfer them to the prepared baking sheet.
9.	Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown on top and firm to the touch.
10.	Allow to cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving warm with butter and jam.
