Steps:
- Put a baking sheet in the oven at 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Put the flour, salt and baking powder into a food processor, then whizz in the butter until it disappears. Pulse in the sugar, tip into a large bowl, then make a well in the middle.
- Warm the yogurt, milk and vanilla together in the microwave for 1 min or in a pan; it should be hot and may well go a bit lumpy-looking. Tip into the bowl and quickly work into the flour mix using a cutlery knife. As soon as it's all in, stop.
- Tip the dough onto a floured surface, then, with floured hands, fold the dough over a few times - just enough to create a smoothish dough. Press out to about 4cm/1½in thick, dip a 7cm cutter into more flour, then stamp out 4 rounds, flouring the cutter each time. Squash the remainder lightly together, then repeat until the dough is used up. Brush tops with egg wash, scatter flour over the hot sheet, then lift the scones on. Bake for 12 mins until risen and golden. Best eaten just-warm, or on the day.

ORANGE YOGURT SCONES
"My mother handed down this recipe to me when I moved out of the house," recalls Hollye Chapman of Corvallis, Oregon. "It produces a very light scone that tastes great with orange marmalade, lemon curd or most kinds of jam. Use any flavor fruit yogurt if you don't have orange," she adds.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°.
- Coat cookie sheet with non-stick spray.
- In a large bowl, combine first 6 ingredients.
- Cut into dry ingredients the plum puree and cold margarine with pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add yogurt and mix until just blended.
- Stir in dried fruit.
- On a floured surface, roll or pat dough to 3/4 inch thickness.
- Cut out with a 2 1/2 to 3 inch biscuit cutter, rerolling scraps as needed.
- NOTE: The less you handle the dough the better so be sure to get as many as possible the first time.
- Arrange on cookie sheet, spacing 2 inches apart.
- Brush with beaten egg white and sprinkle with sugar.
- Bake in the center of the oven for about 15 minutes or until golden brown and springy to the touch.
Tips:
- Choose the right yogurt. Use plain, unsweetened yogurt for a healthier scone. Greek yogurt will give your scones a thicker, denser texture, while regular yogurt will give them a lighter, fluffier texture.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make your scones tough. Mix the dough just until it comes together, then stop.
- Use fresh fruit. Fresh fruit will give your scones the best flavor. If you're using frozen fruit, thaw it completely before using.
- Don't skimp on the butter. Butter is what gives scones their rich, flaky texture. Don't substitute margarine or oil.
- Bake the scones until they're golden brown. This will ensure that they're cooked through.
Conclusion:
Fruit and yogurt scones are a delicious and healthy treat that are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a snack. They're easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect fruit and yogurt scones every time.
