Yogurt Scones

Ingredients:

• 3 cups self-raising flour
• ½ tsp sat
• 2 tbsp sugar
• 90g butter
• 1 egg lightly beated
• 1 cup EASIYO yogurt

Method:

Sift flour, salt and sugar into a bowl. Rub in butter until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs. Add beaten egg and yogurt to dry ingredients, mixing quickly with a knife.

Turn onto a floured board and knead several times. Roll out dough to approximately 2 cm thick and cut into squared or into rounds with a 4 cm floured cutter. Arrange close together on a lightly greased baking tray.

Bake in a preheated oven 220°C for 10-15 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool on wire racks or serve warm with butter and jam or yogurt cream cheese.
