"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.

EASY FLUFFY SCONES

Provided by Jane Hornby

Categories Afternoon tea, Treat

Time 22m

Yield Makes 9

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

350g self-raising flour, plus more for dusting
¼ tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
85g cold butter, cut into cubes
4 tbsp golden caster sugar
150g pot natural full-fat yogurt
4 tbsp full-fat milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 egg beaten with 1 tbsp milk, to glaze

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.

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
¼ cup butter
½ cup strawberry yogurt
2 tablespoons whole milk, or as needed

Steps:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
Sift the flour and baking powder into a large bowl. Using your fingers, rub in the butter until the mixture resembles a crumbly texture. Add the yogurt all at once and mix briefly to form a soft dough.
On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to 1 inch in thickness. Dip a 3-inch cutter into some flour, and stamp out 12 scones. (You may have to re-roll the dough to get 12.) Place scones 2 inches apart onto baking sheets. Brush tops with milk.
Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes or until risen and golden brown. Best served freshly baked with butter.

Tips:

Use plain yogurt, not flavored yogurt, to ensure the scones have a neutral taste.
If you don't have baking powder, you can use baking soda instead. Just use half the amount of baking soda as you would baking powder.
To make sure the scones are evenly cooked, place them in the center of the oven.
Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the scones tough.
If you want to add fruit or chocolate chips to the scones, do so after you have mixed the dry ingredients together.
Serve the scones warm with butter, jam, or cream.
