Low-Fat Breakfast Scones
(6 servings) Printable Version
- 1/2 cup non-fat vanilla yogurt
- 1/2 cup non-fat sour cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 2 cups flour
- 1/4 cup + 3 tsp granulated sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3-4 Tbsp chilled low fat margarine
Wisk together the yogurt, sour cream, lemon juice and vanilla. Set aside.
Preheat oven to 400 Deg.
Prepare baking sheet by sparying lightly with vegetable oil.
In a large bowl:
Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, soda and salt.
Cut in the margarine until the mixture resembles course meal.
Cut and fold the yogurt/sour cream mixture into the flour until you can collect the dough.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface just until it can be shaped. DO NOT OVERWORK THE DOUGH, the scones will be tough. The dough should be light and moist.
Place the dough on the baking sheet.
Dust the top of the dough with 1 tsp sugar and pat the dough into an 8"-10" round. Cut "to," not "through" the dough to mark 12 wedges.
Dust the scones with 2 tsp sugar before baking.
Bake the scones 20 minutes at 400 Deg.
Serve promptly with fruit jam or honey.
You can add fillers (raisins, fruit pieces, etc.) or press nuts (almonds, pecans, etc.) onto the top before baking. A family favorite!

Best scone recipe I have made. My sister who doesn't even like scones said these were fantastic. The recipe is great to give a good base dough, then experiment with what you put in them. We've subbed orange juice for the lemon juice and added cranberries, used blueberries and almonds, etc.

These have become a family favorite. My 15 year old daughter found this recipe last year. She makes it for special occasions (for father's day, mother's day & birthday breakfasts). We love them! She adds 1 tsp of rose water and 1/2 tsp of cinnamon to the batter and sprinkles the top with cinnamon sugar.

Followed the recipe and it was a waste of time. Scones - never cooked after 35 minutes. Raw in the middle.
