Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Yellow cornmeal
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Cold unsalted butter, cubed
• 1 cup Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 0.75 cup Dried cherries, chopped
• 0.75 cup Whole milk
• 1 unit Large egg
• 2 tablespoons Honey

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, yellow cornmeal, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt.

Step 3

Add the cold cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Gently fold in the shredded sharp cheddar cheese and chopped dried cherries, ensuring even distribution.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole milk, large egg, and honey until well combined.

Step 6

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients, then pour the wet ingredients into the well. Use a wooden spoon or spatula to gently mix until the dough just comes together. Avoid overmixing.

Step 7

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Pat it into a round disc about 1-inch thick and 8 inches in diameter.

Step 8

Using a sharp knife or bench scraper, cut the disc into 8 equal wedges.

Step 9

Transfer the wedges to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.

Step 10

Bake the scones in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 11

Remove the scones from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature.
