Preparation

Step 1

1. Heat oven to 425 degrees. Combine the flour, sugar,
baking powder and salt in a food processor; pulse
until mixture resembles course meal. Add the butter;
pulse several times. Stir in the cherries and white
chocolate.

2. Whisk together the 1 of the eggs, cream and vanilla
in a small bowl; add to the flour mixture, stirring
just until blended. Do not overmix.

3. Place the dough on a lightly floured surface; pat
until 1/2-inch thick. Cut out scones with a 2 1/2-inch
biscuit or cookie cutter. Place rounds on a baking
sheet topped with buttered parchment paper. Whisk
together remaining egg with the water; brush tops of
scones with egg wash. Sprinkle with raw sugar. Bake
until lightly golden, 12-15 minutes.
