1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup (60 gm) cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
1/3 cup heavy cream
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla essence
1 cup fresh cherries, pitted and chopped

Preparation:

1. Preheat the oven to 200 degree celcius. Line a baking tray with baking paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk plain flour, brown sugar, baking powder and salt.
3. Add the butter and rub in until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. In another bowl, mix together heavy cream, egg and vanilla essence.
5. Add this to the flour mixture, along with the chopped cherries and mix gently until combined to form a dough.
