How to Make Lemon Cornmeal Scones With Dried Cherries
- Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C). Position oven rack to middle level.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup cornmeal, 1/2 cup oat bran, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Cut in 1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in 1/2 cup chopped dried cherries and 1/2 cup chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, or almonds).
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 large egg, 1/2 cup milk, 2 tablespoons lemon zest, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently shape it into a 5-inch disk.
- Cut the disk into 8 wedges.
- Place the wedges onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each scone.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Let cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving. Enjoy with butter, jam, and your favorite coffee or tea!
