Strawberry Yogurt Scones

A variation on traditional English sour cream scones. A good tip is to use a good quality yogurt with plenty of fruit bits in it.

Original recipe makes 12 scones

Ingredients

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup strawberry yogurt
2 tablespoons whole milk, or as needed

  • PREP

    20 mins

  • COOK

    10 mins

  • READY IN

    30 mins

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  2. Sift the flour and baking powder into a large bowl. Using your fingers, rub in the butter until the mixture resembles a crumbly texture. Add the yogurt all at once and mix briefly to form a soft dough.
  3. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to 1 inch in thickness. Dip a 3-inch cutter into some flour, and stamp out 12 scones. (You may have to re-roll the dough to get 12.) Place scones 2 inches apart onto baking sheets. Brush tops with milk.
  4. Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes or until risen and golden brown. Best served freshly baked with butter.
