• Cut the dough round into 8 even wedges and put them on a parchment lined baking sheet.
• Chill the wedges for 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

SOUR CREAM AND FRUIT SCONES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees with a rack in the upper third. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Using the large holes of a box grater, grate butter directly into the dry ingredients, stopping a few times along the way to toss the butter pieces into the flour. Use your fingers to work the butter into slightly smaller pieces. Add cherries and toss to combine.
• In a small bowl, whisk together sour cream and milk. Add to the flour mixture, and use a fork to stir until all the dry flour bits are incorporated, but the dough is still shaggy. Smoosh and knead the dough a few times until it barely holds together, then dump the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface.
• Pat dough to a 1-inch-thick rectangle. Cut into 8 squares, transfer to the prepared sheet, and brush the tops with beaten egg.
• Bake until golden brown, 18 to 22 minutes. Let cool slightly. Scones will keep, covered at room temperature, for 3 days. Reheat, if you like, in a toaster oven or at 350 degrees until warmed through.

Turn dough out onto lightly floured work surface. Divide dough in half; sprinkle lightly with flour if sticky. Pat each half into 3/4-inch-thick round. Cut each round into 6 wedges. Transfer wedges to large baking sheet, spacing evenly apart.
• Bake scones until tops are golden brown and tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Transfer scones to rack and cool slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature.

PARMESAN AND CARAMELIZED ONION CREAM SCONES

• Season the caramelized onions with salt and pepper.
• In a bowl, mix flour, baking powder and coarse salt in a large mixing bowl; stir/mix in the Parmesan cheese.
• Stir in the caramelized onions; mix to combine.
• Gradually add in whipping cream, stirring until dough holds together (you might have to use more than 2 cups cream, if the mixture seems too dry).
• Knead gently about 5-6 times on a very lightly-floured surface.
• Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for a minimum of 2 hours to relax the gluten (this will produce a better-textured scone).
• When ready to bake, divide the dough in half, and sprinkle each half lightly with flour if too sticky.
• Pat each half into a 1-inch thick round shape.
• Cut into 6 even wedges and transfer wedges to a large lightly-greased baking sheet (spacing evenly apart).
