Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup sour cream

- 1 ½ cups cherries (fresh or frozen)
- 1 cup chocolate chips (mini or regular size)
- 1 cup butter

- In a medium-sized bowl combine the sour cream and baking soda together.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Cut in the butter using two knives scissor style or with a pastry blender until it resembles coarse peas in the flour mixture.
- Add in the sour cream and beaten egg, gently mixing until it’s almost together.
- Once the mixture is this close to being completely combined, add in the chocolate chips. Mix gently again.
- Add in the cherries and mix gently until throughout the dough.
- Scoop the dough together and roll it into one large log. Cut the log into three pieces.

- Take your 18 scones and place on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake until the scones are light golden brown on the top and the bottom (don’t overbake them), approximately 20 minutes.
