About 10 minutes. Add flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt, beat on low speed until just incorportaed. Add Milk Crumbs, beat again until just incorporated. Stir in cherries with a spatula until evenly distributed. Dough will be sticky!
  3. Wrap dough tightly in plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator for up to 48 hours.
