Scones


I'm feeling a little late to the game here but I have gotten much better at scones lately. Lots of recipes state buttermilk but I've been making mine with yogurt - either plain / O% / flavoured - and the scones are so much lighter.

Recently I made them with blueberries and raspberries and the yogurt and they were really good like a cross between a cake and a scone.
This is roughly the recipe although I don't actually weigh it out....


8oz flour

2 oz butter/marg

2oz caster sugar

1 egg

a glugg of skimmed milk

2/3 tblsp yogurt

berries (optional)

Bake at 160 for 10/12 minutes (depending on your oven). Serve warm with butter.
