half&half, heavy cream or melted butter for brushing
Glaze
½cup chopped fresh cherries
1tsp water
¾cup powdered sugar
Instructions
Preheat oven 425F and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
Place flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a food processor and pulse a couple of times. Add cubed butter and pulse until coarse crumbs form.
Dump contents of food processor in a large bowl, add buttermilk and vanilla. Stir just until combined. Gently fold in cherries and chocolate. Do not over mix!
Take contents of bowl and place on a lightly floured surface. Form a 7" disc and cut into 8 wedges. Place on your prepared sheet pan. Brush tops with half&half, heavy cream or melted butter.
Bake for 12 to 14 minutes - until tops begin to brown ever so slightly.
While scones are baking prepare glaze. Place cherries and water in food processor and blend until almost smooth. (There will be tiny cherry bits.)
Place cherry puree in bowl and add powdered sugar. Whisk until well combined. Glaze should be runny but if it seems too runny add a little more sugar.
Drizzle warm scones with glaze and top with additional chocolate (optional).
