Instructions
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees Celsius (about 400 degrees Fahrenheit).
- In a large bowl, whisk together all purpose flour, granulated sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
- Add chilled diced unsalted butter to the dry ingredients. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized pieces.
- Stir in dark chocolate chips and chopped dried tart cherries evenly into the mixture.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together whole milk, beaten large egg, and vanilla extract.
- For the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead it a few times to bring it together, then pat into a circle about 2 cm thick.
- Cut the dough circle into 6 equal wedges and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 18 minutes or until the scones are firm to the touch and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Remove from oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips
- Use cold butter to ensure flaky scones.
- Do not overmix the dough to keep scones tender.
- Serve warm with butter or clotted cream for best taste.
Serving Suggestions
- clotted cream
- strawberry jam

Enjoy these rich double chocolate cherry scones warm with your favorite spread for a delightful treat any time of day.
