Yogurt and Almond Scones
Description
This recipe for Yogurt and Almond Scones starts by sifting flour with baking powder and salt, then mixing in cold butter to form a crumbly dough. Yogurt is added gradually until a soft but not sticky dough forms. The dough is rolled out and cut into small circles.
The scones are brushed with runny honey and sprinkled with flaked almonds before baking at a high temperature until they develop a light brown color. This results in scones that are tender inside with a slightly crisp exterior and a subtle sweetness from the honey paired with crunchy almonds.
They make a versatile accompaniment to tea or breakfast, offering gentle tang from yogurt and nutty texture. The dough requires gentle handling with no kneading to preserve the light crumb.

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!
