How to make ruby scones

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Drain cherries, reserving 2 tablespoons juice. Cut cherries into quarters. Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, granulated sugar, baking powder and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Beat together egg and buttermilk. Add egg mixture, coconut, ginger and drained cherries to flour mixture, stirring with a fork only until combined.
  • Lightly knead on a floured surface 12 times. Pat or lightly roll dough to 1/2 inch thickness.
  • Cut dough into 8 pieces, using a floured, 4 inch round biscuit cutter. Place rounds on an ungreased baking sheet.
  • Using a sharp, floured knife, cut each scone into four wedges. Do not separate. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until light golden brown.
  • In a small bowl, combine confectioners sugar and reserved maraschino cherry juice. Mix well.
  • Drizzle glaze over hot scones. Serve warm.
