This week, we’re bringing you the perfect treat to enjoy with a nice cup of tea. Ginger yogurt scones!
Method:
- Pre-heat oven to 200 deg. C., 400 deg. F., Gas Mark 6.
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper or grease-proof paper.
- Put the yogurt, milk and sugar in a pan and warm until hand-hot. Alternatively, heat in a small bowl on low power for 40 seconds in the microwave. The sugar should melt into the yogurt and milk.
- Place the flour, baking powder and butter into a mixing bowl and rub the butter into the flour to make a breadcrumb texture.
- Using a wooden spoon, add the warmed yogurt mix and stir well to form a dough.
- Dust the worktop with some flour and bring the dough together. Gently roll out the dough to about 3 cm (1¼ in) thick, and push out the scones using a round 7 cm (2¾ in) cutter.
- Place the scones on the prepared tray with a good distance between them. Re-shape the remaining dough and cut again.
- Brush each scone with a little milk and bake in the pre-heated oven for 10 to 15 minutes until golden brown.
- Cool on a wire rack and sandwich with jam, cream and yogurt.
