Bake Sour Cherry Chocolate Scones

I think I may be a bit crazy to turn on my oven right now. Next week is definitely going to a be an oven-free recipe, but a few days ago I was craving a baked good and I had a pile of sour cherries that needed a homeso, scones!

Of course, these can be made with regular cherries, no sourness needed, but man do I love them. Their tartness is so welcomed against the buttery goodness of this scone and sings against the rich chocolate chunks. I like to think of them as the unicorn of the cherry world.

This is my basic scone recipe. It never lets me down and as the seasons change, I swap the ingredients, add citrus zest of all kinds to it and increase or decrease the sugar depending on those added ingredients.

If youre in the mood for a baked good in the dog days of summer, here are you!
