Served as breakfast. Vegetarian dish.

3 cup plus 3 Tablespoon Flour

6 1/2 teaspoon Baking powder

10 teaspoon Milk

1/2 cup Dried Tart Cherries, cut up

1/2 cup Sugar

1/2 cup Chilled Butter, cut up

1 Egg, beaten

1 teaspoon Orange or Lemon rind, grated

Preheat oven to 350 degree F. Lightly grease baking sheet. Stir together the flour, sugar and baking powder. Cut in butter until mixture resembles crumbs. (A food processor works great.) Stir in dried cherries and grated rind. Combine milk and egg. Mix into dry ingredients, gather dough into a ball. Roll dough out 1/2 inch thick onto a lightly floured surface. Cut into 3 inch circles with a sharp knife or biscuit cutter. (A glass does not work well because it crimps the edges and they will not rise as well.) Arrange on a baking sheet, 1 inch apart. Bake until firm to touch, about 20 minutes. Serve warm.

Serves: 8
