Ingredients
Scale
2¼ cups all-purpose flour
4 tsp. baking powder
¾ tsp. salt
⅓ cup cold butter, diced
¼ cup sugar
⅔ cup yogurt
¼ cup milk
1 tsp. vanilla extract
For egg wash –
1 egg
1 tbsp milk
Plus extra flour for dusting surface
*Optional – dried fruit, orange zest, vanilla bean powder, etc. for extra flavor
Instructions
Pre-heat oven to 400 and place your baking sheets in the oven to pre-heat as well.
Mix together the dry ingredients in a food processor for a few seconds. Add the butter and mix about 30 seconds until the butter is evenly spread out throughout the flour mixture.
In a microwave-safe bowl, mix together the yogurt, milk and vanilla. Microwave 1 minute. It might look a little bit lumpy or curdled, but that’s ok!
Add to flour mixture in the food processor. Mix JUST until combined.
Turn it out on a lightly floured surface. Press out to 1 1/2 inch thickness. Use a biscuit cutter or the ring of a canning jar to cut scones into rounds. Gently re-work dough and repeat steps until all scones have been formed.
Lightly dust each slice with flour and transfer to the pre-heated baking sheet. Brush with egg wash (1 beaten egg with 1 tbsp milk). Bake 10-12 minutes at 400 degrees.
Serve with homemade jam and whipped butter.
If you have any leftovers, be sure to store them in an air-tight container and serve them toasted.
