Grandma's Simple Scone Recipe That Never Fails

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

Sift 500 g self-raising flour into a bowl.

Add 2 g baking powder, 2 g salt, and 50 g sugar to the flour and whisk together to aerate.

Add 150 ml milk, 150 ml cream, 150 ml yogurt, and 2 g vanilla paste all at once into the dry ingredients.

Use a kitchen fork to mix from the middle until a sticky dough forms, ensuring no dry flour remains.

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface without kneading it again, just shaping it lightly.

Shape the dough into a rectangular form, keeping it narrow, and cut it in half, then into six pieces along the length.

Cut the dough into squares instead of using a round cutter to avoid waste, yielding 12 pieces.

Brush the tops of the scones with a beaten egg, avoiding the sides to prevent sticking.

Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F) and bake the scones for 18 minutes until golden brown.

Let the scones cool slightly before serving with strawberry jam and cream, optionally dusting with icing sugar.
