A simple recipe for Cinnamon Yogurt Scones that is made with vanilla yogurt, but you can substitute plain or Greek yogurt. They are perfectly scented and all that's missing is a cup of tea and a pat of butter.
Servings 8 Servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups all purpose flour unbleached
- ⅓ cup brown sugar
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- 6 tbsp unsalted butter cold, cut into 1/2" cubes
- 6 oz vanilla yogurt or plain
- 3 tbsp heavy cream
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425º F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a medium bowl add the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Mix lightly with a whisk.
- Add the butter to the dry ingredients and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix in the butter to make a coarse meal. Add the yogurt and heavy cream and mix just until the dough begins to come together.
- Turn out onto a lightly floured board or counter. Pat the mixture together to make an 8 inch circle. Use a bench scraper or long knife and cut into 8 wedges. Place on prepared baking sheet.
- Bake 14-16 minutes or until the scones are lightly browned and a tester inserted in the thickest part comes out clean. Cool slightly before eating.
