Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup white whole wheat flour
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon table salt
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons chilled butter, cut into little pieces
- 1 egg
- 3/4 cup nonfat vanilla yogurt
- 2 teaspoons real vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons coarse sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.
- In a bowl combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Stir in sugar.
- Add the little pieces of butter and work it into the flour mixture with a pastry cutter or your fingers until the butter chunks are all broken down and the mixture resembles a coarse meal. (I use my fingers–it’s messy, but fun!)
- In a separate smaller bowl combine the egg, yogurt and vanilla and whisk until smooth.
- Stir the egg mixture into the flour mixture and mix until just blended (dough will be soft and wet).
- Directly in the bowl, knead the dough lightly 3-4 times. Directly on the baking sheet, pat or roll the dough into a circle about 1/2 inch thick. Cut the dough into wedges. Sprinkle scones with the coarse sugar. Bake scones for 20 – 25 minutes or until golden brown and set in the middle. Cut them again when they are done, separate and serve.
