Ingredients

2 cups whole wheat flour
⅓ cup sugar
½ teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoon baking powder
Zest of 1 lemon
½ cup (1 stick) butter, cold
1 egg
½ cup plain Greek yogurt
¼ cup milk
½ cup Chukar® Sour Cherry Preserves or Chukar® Sweet Cherry Preserves
1 teaspoon milk
1 teaspoon brown sugar

Directions

Preheat oven to 375°F.
Mix the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and lemon zest in a large bowl.
Cut the butter into small chunks, add it to the dry ingredients, and cut it in with a pastry blender (or rub it in with your fingers until it resembles fine breadcrumbs).
Whisk together the egg, yogurt, and milk. Stir into the dry mixture until a dough forms.
Gently fold in Chukar® Sour Cherry Preserves or Chukar® Sweet Cherry Preserves.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and briefly knead. If the dough is too wet, add a little extra flour while kneading. Pat the dough into a flat disk about 2 inches thick. Cut into wedges.
Transfer the dough to a parchment-lined or lightly greased baking sheet. If you want crispier scones, separate the wedges a little. If you prefer them soft, leave them touching one another. Brush the tops of the scones with 1 teaspoon milk. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon brown sugar.
Bake in the oven for 25 minutes or until light golden brown. Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack before serving.
