Description

Scones with fresh cranberries are light tasting when made with vanilla yogurt instead of milk and eggs.

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
1/2 cup vanilla yogurt
1/2 cup fresh cranberries
1 tablespoon turbinado sugar, or to taste

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
2 Sift flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a mixing bowl. Cut in cold butter with 2 knives or a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in yogurt, then cranberries.
3 Form dough into a ball and place on the prepared baking sheet. Pat down into a 1/4-inch to 1/2-inch thick circle. Sprinkle with sugar and cut into 8 segments.
4 Bake in the preheated oven until edges are slightly crisp and top is browned, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and redefine the cut marks.
