Yogurt and Almond Scones

They can also be classified as pastries because they use baking powder rather than yeast as the raising agent. But whatever you want to call them, they are pretty tasty.

Fresh out of the oven they are excellent with butter, jam, and a glass of yogurt or milk. They are always a pleasure as they are so nice and tasty and real easy to make with few ingredients and little effort.

Here is a classic scones recipe with yogurt and almonds.

Instructions

How to make YOGURT AND ALMOND SCONES:

• Sift the flour together with the baking powder and salt. In the middle, add the cold butter and knead with your fingers until you get a crumbly dough.
• Add 100 ml (3.4 oz) of the yogurt and mix gently.
• Gradually add the rest of the yogurt, as much as the dough requires.
• Stop when you have a soft but not sticky dough.
• The dough does not need kneading, just mixed to make it homogeneous.
• Preheat the oven to 220 degrees C (430 Fahrenheit) and line a large baking tray with baking paper.
• Turn the dough out onto a well-floured work surface.
• Roll the dough out into a 2-3cm (0.8-1.2 inch) thick sheet and cut circles using a 4-5 cm (1.5-2 inch) diameter pastry cutter.
• Place the pieces of dough in the tray and brush with a little runny honey.
• Sprinkle the flaked almonds over and place in the oven.
• Bake for 10-15 minutes until lightly browned.
• Take them out of the oven, place on a cooling tray, and serve them as you like.
• Enjoy!
