1. Soak cherries in warm water. Let stand until softened, 1 hour. Drain
and discard liquid.
2. Preheat oven to 375 deg.
3. In a medium bowl, mix together all-purpose flour, wheat flour, sugar,
baking powder, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg. Using a patry blender cut
butter into flour mixture until coarse crumbs form.
4. Mix together egg yolk and buttermilk.
5. Make a well in the center of flour mixture. Add egg mixture and
cherries all at once to well, tossing with a fork until a soft dough forms.
6. On a floured surface, knead dough 10 times. Using a floured rolling
pin, roll dough to a 1 in. thickness. Using a floured 3 in. heart-shaped
cookie cutter, cut out scones. Gather trimmings, roll dough to a 1 in.
thickness, and cut out more scones.
7. Place scones, 1 in. apart, on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake until
golden, 18 to 20 min. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Dust with
confectioners' sugar. NOTES
: With a tempting blend of sweet and sour, these Valentine scones relect
the true nature of romance. Make these scones in a variety of shapes.
Serve with honey, sweet butter, or jam. Makes 8 scones.
