Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Add the cold butter pieces to the flour mixture and use a pastry cutter or two forks to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the dough.
-
Gently fold in the chopped cherries until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
-
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a circle about 1 inch thick.
-
Using a sharp knife or a bench scraper, slice the dough into 8 equal wedges.
-
Transfer the scones to the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each one.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and cooked through.

Remove from the oven and let the scones cool on a wire rack.
