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

Ingredients

3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
2-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
6 tablespoons cold butter
1 cup vanilla yogurt
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons 2% milk, divided
1-1/3 cups dried cherries
2/3 cup white baking chips
Coarse sugar, optional

Directions

Preheat oven to 400°. In a large bowl, combine 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 cherries and chips.
On a greased baking sheet, pat dough into a 9-in. circle. Cut into 8 wedges; separate wedges. Brush with remaining milk. If desired, sprinkle with sugar. Bake until golden brown, 20-25 minutes. Serve warm.
