• Chop your butter into small cubes (approximately ⅓ inch), and add to flour mixture. Cut in the butter with a pastry knife. Or use a food processor.
• Slowly add in cream and mix until the dough is no longer dry, you may need to add in a bit more cream if the mixture is too dry. Just make sure its not too sticky.
• Fold in cherries.
• Once cherries are incorporated, place dough on a non-stick surface like parchment paper.
• Roll out the dough until its approximately ½ inch thick.

• Drizzle about ½ tsp of glaze onto each scone.
