This week, we’re bringing you the perfect treat to enjoy with a nice cup of tea. Ginger yogurt scones!

Method:

  1. Pre-heat oven to 200 deg. C., 400 deg. F., Gas Mark 6.
  2. Line a baking tray with parchment paper or grease-proof paper.
  3. Put the yogurt, milk and sugar in a pan and warm until hand-hot. Alternatively, heat in a small bowl on low power for 40 seconds in the microwave. The sugar should melt into the yogurt and milk.
  4. Place the flour, baking powder and butter into a mixing bowl and rub the butter into the flour to make a breadcrumb texture.
  5. Using a wooden spoon, add the warmed yogurt mix and stir well to form a dough.
  6. Dust the worktop with some flour and bring the dough together. Gently roll out the dough to about 3 cm (1¼ in) thick, and push out the scones using a round 7 cm (2¾ in) cutter.
  7. Place the scones on the prepared tray with a good distance between them. Re-shape the remaining dough and cut again.
  8. Brush each scone with a little milk and bake in the pre-heated oven for 10 to 15 minutes until golden brown.
  9. Cool on a wire rack and sandwich with jam, cream and yogurt.
