• Ready In: 30mins
• Ingredients: 10
• Yields: 12 scones

ingredients

• 2 1⁄2 cups flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄4 cup sugar
• 6 tablespoons chilled butter, cut into pieces
• 1 cup plain yogurt
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 3⁄4 cup dried fruit

directions

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
2. In a mixing bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Mix well. Stir in the sugar. Cut in the butter until the mixture is crumbly.
3. In a small bowl, stir the yogurt into the beaten egg. Add to the crumbly mixture from Step 1. Add the lemon zest and dried fruits. Mix lightly.
4. Separate the dough in half. Turn each half onto a lightly floured surface. Pat each half into a circle about 1/2" thick, using a little extra flour to keep the dough from sticking to your hands and the surface.
5. Bake each half 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned. While still warm, cut each circle into 8 wedges. Let cool thoroughly.
