These buttery scones, dotted with dried cherries and vanilla chips, are so sweet and flaky that I even serve them for dessert. -Pamela Brooks, South Berwick, Maine

Ingredients

3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
2-1/2 teaspoons baking powder

In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and baking soda. Cut in butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Combine yogurt and 1/4 cup milk; stir into crumb mixture just until moistened. Knead in the cherries and chips.

These scones are my husband's favorite - we make them often.

My family loves these scones. I have even made for a Hunt Club Breakfast. Have used frozen blueberries, frozen raspberries and dried apricots, all following same recipe.

I made these for a ladies tea and fashion show a few years ago; they flew off the plate! They also taste wonderful made with dried cranberries.
