Cherry-Chocolate Chip Scones with Cherry Compound Butter
Cherries and chocolate go so well together. I make these scones with dried cherries so that you can make them anytime of the year, and with milk chocolate chips because the sweetness of milk chocolate goes well with the tartness of the dried cherries. These scones don’t really need any butter, but if you like […]
