1

Preheat the oven to 200°C (190°C fan, gas mark 5). Dust a baking sheet with flour.
2
Sieve together the flour, salt, sugar and bicarbonate of soda. Mix together the buttermilk and milk. Make a well in the centre and pour on the buttermilk mixture. Mix well until the dough is even, and stir in the sour cherries.

For this step you'll need:
- 250g Plain white flour
- pinch Sea salt
- 2 tbsp Unrefined golden granulated sugar
- 1tsp Bicarbonate of soda
- 150ml Buttermilk
- 50ml Milk (whole)
- 75g Dried sour cherries
3

To shape for cooking, set the dough on a floured surface and turn around in your hands, until you have a neat round shape. Use a floured knife to score the surface into 4 or 6 sections.
4

Transfer to the floured baking sheet and bake for 20 – 25 minutues. Set aside on a rack to cool. Best eaten straight away, but can be stored for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
