Cherry board for serving fresh sage scones

This is the last board to come from the nicest, thickest piece of cherry found at a backyard mill in Sylvan. The board was finished right when the scones came out of the oven so we put it right to work! Certainly not planning to blog much about recipes because I am certainly not a cook but these turn out great every time and smell amazing. I've switched it up a bit from the the recipe found here: Fresh Sage Drop Scones

2 cups spelt or whole wheat flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1 cup sharp cheddar cheese

1/4 cup minced green onions

2 tablespoons fresh herbs on hand or

2-3 teaspoons sage and apple stuffing seasoning mix from Epicure (yum!)

1 cup milk

Preheat oven to 400 degrees

Combine flour and next three ingredients. Stir in cheese , onions and herbs. Add milk and stir just until moist. (I needed to add a bit more flour so the dough was not too sticky.) Drop dough onto backing sheet 2 inches apart. (This makes 8 scones.) Bake at 400 for 20 minutes or until golden brown. 

Cherry might appear a bit boring before it gets oiled but it is very beautiful after all the sanding is finished. 

Pure...plain and simple. Real. 

Maybe it would be good if we all tried to be a bit like sanded cherry!
