Good Morning...Here's the second recipe for scones. It's called Featherlight Scones. They turn out large and light. They are not too sweet but I guess you could add some sugar to the mix. These are the only 2 recipes I've tried although I have a binder filled with recipes for scones.....3 cups all-purpose flour (I use bread flour), 3 tsp. baking powder, 1/2 tsp baking soda, 1/2 tsp salt, 1 cup cold butter (2 sticks)...I freeze the butter and then grate it into the mix, 1 egg, 1 cup vanilla yogurt (store brand seems fine), 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract, 2 tsp. milk, sugar. In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Cut in the butter (I grate it..frozen) until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the egg, yogurt and vanilla just until combined (DO NOT OVERWORK THE MIX). Turn onto a floured surface and knead 6-8 times (Dont overwork).Roll into a 9 inch circle. Cut into eight wedges. Place on an ungreased baking sheet (I cover sheet with parchment paper). Brush tops with milk and sprinkle with sugar. Bake at 425 for 12-15 minutes or until tooth pick comes out clean. Serve warm with jam/jelly. These freeze well. These are not real sweet....but delicious. Enjoy. I may have to bake some of these today...the other ones are almost gone.
