WOW, these are delicious. I did need to add in a bit more (maybe 3 tablespoons) of yogurt to get everything to come together. I'm sure that that was my flour being overly dry though because I have add a bit more liquid to almost all of my baking recently. This cones together very quickly and I only kneaded it 4 turns as it looked perfect at that point. I used Crystal margarine (Canadian brand Healthy Balance) and Splenda for the sugar. They are light, very tender and simply scrumptious. Thanks for sharing Ceezie
