Ingredients:
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
3/4 cup Dried cherries
1 cup Boiling water
3 cups Flour
3 tablespoons Sugar
1 tablespoon Baking powder
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1/2 teaspoon Cream of tartar
1/2 cup Margarine-room temperature
1 Egg -- SEPARATED
1/2 cup Sour cream

Soak cherries in water for 10 minutes. Drain and set aside. In a large mixing bow,
combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and cream of tartar. With a pastry
blender, cut in the margarine. Set aside. In a small bowl, combine egg yoke, sour
