Notes
You can make a gluten free scones recipe by swapping out the white whole wheat flour for a gluten-free flour blend.
Try substituting dried raisins, currants, or blueberries for the cherries in this recipe.
Turn this recipe into mini-scones by dividing the dough into two small balls in step 6, then slicing each ball into 10 wedges for a total of 20 mini-scones. May take less time to bake.
