the add, 1/3 cup of milk or half and half. and, 1 egg, beaten. when mixed, add 1/2 cup of dried cherries. mix together well and then place dough on a slight floured board. pat into a circle about 8 inches wide. place the round onto a parchment lined baking sheet. sprinkle the top with sugar. lightly score the circle into segments, but do not cut apart. bake for 15 to 18 minutes until golden brown.
