Strawberry Scones

Happy Mother's Day!

Here is a recipe for a lower-fat, light and flaky Strawberry Scone!

Ingredients:

2 c. all-purpose flour

1 tsp. baking powder

1 tsp. baking soda

1/2 tsp. salt

1/4 c. sugar

1/3 c. butter cold

6 oz (3/4 c.) yogurt, orange or vanilla

(if using vanilla yogurt, add 2 tsp. orange zest)

4 Tb. milk

1 c. fresh or frozen strawberries, diced

Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt & sugar. Cut in butter in tiny pieces (it may help to cut butter into tiny pieces on a cutting board first, then add to flour mixture) into the flour mixture. Then add yogurt & milk & fold until the mixture starts to come together. Then fold in strawberries. The mixture will still be crumbly. Turn out onto a floured surface and form into 2 balls. Flatten each out by pressing gently with your hand until about 1 inch thick. Cut into desired shapes & place on sprayed cookie sheet. If you have sparkling sugar, sprinkle the top of scones before baking. Bake at 350* for 20 minutes, turning halfway through baking.

*Although I have changed the recipe slightly & the directions entirely...The original recipe for these scones came from bakingbites.com "Strawberry Sunrise Scones"
