Instructions
Heat oven to 425F. In medium bowl, mix flour, sugar, lemon peel, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt.
Cut in butter, using pastry blender (or pulling 2 table knives through ingredients in opposite directions), until mixture looks like fine crumbs. Stir in enough buttermilk so dough leaves side of bowl and forms a ball. Stir in cherries.
On ungreased cookie sheet, drop dough by about 1/3 cupfuls about 1 inch apart.
Sprinkle with additional sugar if desired.
Bake 10 to 15 minutes or until light brown. Immediately remove from cookie sheet.
