  • 3 Tbsp granulated sugar
  • 2 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • zest of 1 lemon
  • 1 cup whipping cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup fresh cherries, pitted and cut in half
  • coarse sugar (for sprinkling on top)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 450°F. Line a baking sheet with a silcone mat or parchment paper. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Add in the lemon zest.
  • Create a well in the centre, and pour the whipping cream and vanilla into it. Slowly mix it into the flour mixture until just combined.
  • Fold in the cherries.
  • Place the dough on a well floured surface. Cut the dough in two. Press each section of dough down to create circles. Cut these circles into 4. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
