1. Preheat oven to 425°F. In large bowl, combine flours, sugar, baking powder and salt. Cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Combine egg, beer and milk; stir into crumb mixture. Stir in cherries. Turn onto floured surface; knead gently 4 times.
2. Shape dough into a ball and place on an ungreased baking sheet. Pat into 8-inch circle. Score dough into 8 wedges (do not separate). Sprinkle with raw sugar. Bake 18 to 22 minutes or until golden brown. Cut into wedges. Serve with fruit and preserves, if desired.
