How to cook deliciously - Royal Cherry Scones

1. Stage

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Place a baking sheet in the oven to warm.

2. Stage

Rub 1/4 cup butter into flour in a bowl until mixture resembles fine bread crumbs. Stir in sugar. Stir cherries into flour mixture until evenly distributed; mix in wheat germ.

3. Stage

Mix milk into dough and knead lightly until just smooth. Roll out on a lightly floured surface to approximately 3/4-inch thickness. Stamp out crescent shapes using a 2 1/2-inch fluted cutter, kneading, re-rolling, and cutting dough until it is all used up.

4. Stage

Place scones on the preheated baking sheet; brush tops with 2 tablespoons milk.

5. Stage

Bake in the preheated oven until golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Serve immediately; split scones and spread with remaining butter.
