Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Fit a large rimmed, sheet pan with parchment.

Microwave 8 tablespoons butter in a medium bowl on high heat until melted, approximately 45 seconds. Reserve to cool slightly.

In a medium bowl whisk the egg, add in the heavy cream, vanilla, and cooled butter.

In a separate large bowl, stir together the flour, dried coconut, sugar, baking powder, sumac, and salt.

Add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and stir well to combine.

When all of the ingredients are incorporated, fold in the dried cherries.

Spray a ¼ cup measuring cup with cooking spray.

Scoop the wet dough into the measuring cup, and drop by mounds on the prepared baking sheet.

Heat remaining butter in the microwave, and brush the tops of the buns with it.

Bake for 9-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out cleanly.

Let the buns cool on a cooling rack.

Serve with butter or your favorite jelly or jam.

Store at room temperature in a resealable container for up to 3 days.
