Preheat oven to 400°. In a large bowl, sift together the dry ingredients. Cut butter into 1/2-inch cubes and distribute over flour mixture. With a pastry blender, cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir together the buttermilk, egg, and vanilla. Add to the flour mixture. Stir in the cherries. With lightly-floured hands, pat the dough into an 8-inch diameter circle on an ungreased cookie sheet. With a serrated knife, cut into 8 separate wedges. Bake 18–20 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes. Serve warm.
