Directions
Dried Cherry Scones, Wonderful scones served at a local Bed and Breakfast here in my town Prep and cook times are a guess, since I only tasted, but haven’t made yet , GREAT recipe, one of the best scones I’ve made by far I had one when they came out of the oven and I wasn’t crazy about them because I thought the Brandy was over-powering, but after cooling overnight, WOW!! Delicious!! Thanks for sharing , These tasted really good I didn’t have any brandy so I reconstituted the dried cherries in Grand Marnier I made these for Easter breakfast but I wouldn’t all the time they are very fattening! Maybe I’ll try to reduce the fat a little and see if they taste as good
