These Cranberry Yogurt Scones are a delightful treat for breakfast, snack, or dessert. They're flaky, slightly sweet, and bursting with tangy cranberry flavor, thanks to the addition of yogurt.
Ingredients: 2 cups all-purpose flour. 1/4 cup granulated sugar. 1 tablespoon baking powder. 1/2 teaspoon salt. 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed. 1 cup dried cranberries. 1/2 cup plain yogurt. 1/4 cup milk. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. 1 egg, beaten for egg wash. 2 tablespoons coarse sugar for topping.
Instructions: Preheat your oven to 400F 200C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the cold cubed butter to the dry ingredients and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work it into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the dried cranberries. In a separate bowl, mix together the plain yogurt, milk, and vanilla extract. Add the yogurt mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times until it comes together. Pat the dough into a circle about 1-inch thick. Cut the circle into 8 equal wedges and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each scone. Brush the tops of the scones with the beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar for a nice crust. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly on a wire rack. Serve your Cranberry Yogurt Scones warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
