These crispy, crumbly, buttery scones were a favorite at the bakery I ran. The secret to the perfect texture is cutting the butter similar to how you would for a shortbread or pie dough. The dried sweetened cherries add a extra special sweet and sour chew, with a hint of caramelization at the edges.

The buckwheat crepe or “Galette” became common fare in the west of France (Brittany and surrounding areas) in the 14th century when depleted soils struggled to grow wheat (the name buckwheat is a misnomer; it’s actually a seed). Crepes are typically filled with sweet ingredients, but buckwheat’s grassy flavor lends itself particularly well to savory fillings. For something that looks and tastes so fancy, this is actually incredibly quick and simple to prepare.
