Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 400F (200C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl whisk the flour (self-rising), baking soda and sugar then add the butter and combine until it resembles coarse crumbs, add the yogurt and the milk, mix together until it starts to form a dough (a food processor can be used for these steps).
- Remove the dough to a lightly floured flat surface and gently knead a few times just to form a soft dough (don't over knead).
- Flatten the dough with the palm of your hand to 1 inch (2 cm) thickness, cut into circles or triangles, place them an inch apart on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush with milk and bake for approximately 15 to 17 minutes or until golden. Cool for 5 minutes, serve warm or at room temperature. Drizzle with cream cheese glaze once cooled if desired. Enjoy!
CREAM CHEESE GLAZE
- In a small bowl mix together with a fork or small whisk all the ingredients for the glaze until smooth. Add more milk if too thick or more sugar if too thin.
Notes
- To make self rising flour - For every cup of all-purpose flour, add 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon fine salt. Whisk the ingredients well in a large bowl.
- To make this simple scone recipe ahead of time, roll out scones, then cover and chill for up to 24 hours. Bake from chilled.
- Store baked scones in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
- To freeze unbaked scones, flash freeze dough wedges on a parchment lined baking tray. Once frozen, transfer to a freezer safe container and freeze for up to 3 months. Bake from frozen, increasing baking time by a few minutes.
- You can also freeze baked scones! Cool scones completely and then store in a freezer safe bag or container for up to 3 months. Thaw completely then warm up in the microwave or in the oven.
