Preheat oven to 425 F.

In a bowl, combine all the dry ingredients.

Make a well in the center and pour in the milk and butter.

Slowly start incorporating the flour into the well, until you have a dough.

The dough will be a little dry.

Now, add the mashed banana and mix well. Now fold in the dry cherries and you will have a soft dough.

If you don’t have a scone pan, just turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and using a biscuit cutter or a glass, cut out scones and place on a greased cookie sheet.

Brush the tops with heavy cream and sprinkle with a little sugar.

Bake for 20 minutes, until golden brown.

Enjoy them with preserves and lemon or lime curd!
