Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams wholemeal flour
- 50 grams plain flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 60 grams unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 200 grams Greek yoghurt
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 serving optional egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon milk)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the wholemeal flour, plain flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using your fingertips or a pastry cutter, rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
In a separate bowl, mix together the Greek yoghurt, milk, and honey until smooth.
Gradually add the yoghurt mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring with a fork or spoon until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it 3-4 times to bring everything together. Flatten the dough into a disc about 2.5 cm (1 inch) thick.
Using a round cutter (approximately 5 cm or 2 inches in diameter), cut out scones from the dough and place them on the prepared baking tray. Re-roll the scraps of dough and cut out more scones as needed.
If desired, brush the tops of the scones with the egg wash for a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the scones are risen and lightly golden on top.
Remove the scones from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack before serving warm with your favorite toppings.
