Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Sift all dry ingredients into a large bowl, then add cherries and lemon zest.
Quickly cut the butter into the flour, but do not over mix; you should still see chunks of butter.
In a separate bowl, mix eggs, heavy cream, buttermilk, honey and vanilla.
Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and mix with a fork. When mostly wet, use floured hands to bring the dough together.
Place the dough onto a floured work surface and shape into a large oval (should be 2" thick).
Brush with egg yolk, then sprinkle on oats, sugar and salt.
Cut into 8 triangles, place on baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 10 minutes. Turn sheet and bake an additional 10 minutes (or until golden).
