Blueberry Yogurt Scones Recipes

GREEK YOGURT BLUEBERRY SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°(F). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
• In a large bowl mix together flours, salt, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and lemon zest.
• Cut the butter into small cubes then quickly work it into the mixture (using your fingers) until lit resembles a coarse meal.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, Greek yogurt, milk, and vanilla, then add to flour and butter mixture. Use a fork to stir everything together until just moistened.
• Add in the blueberries and gently fold them into dough with a spatula - don't worry if some of the berries break up a bit.
• Pour the shaggy dough out onto a clean, floured work surface and shape the dough into an 8-inch circle. Cut the dough into 8 wedges and carefully transfer to the prepared sheet.
• Lightly brush each scones with the egg wash, then sprinkle the top of each scone with sugar.
• Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden brown.
• Cool for about 10 minutes, then make your glaze.

BLUEBERRY CREAM CHEESE SCONES WITH YOGURT GLAZE

Steps:

• For the scones: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
• Add the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt and lemon zest to a food processor and pulse to combine. Add the butter and pulse until it's mostly pea-sized; a few larger chunks are okay. Dump the mixture into a large bowl and gently toss in the blueberries.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, yogurt, vanilla and almond extract. Pour into the dry ingredients and, using a rubber spatula, mix until about 80 percent of the dry mixture is incorporated. Dollop teaspoon-sized plops of cream cheese all over the mixture, then gently fold the mixture just until the remaining dry ingredients are incorporated. (You want the cream cheese to generally stay intact but it will of course swirl a little.) Using an ice cream scoop or large spoon, divide the dough into 8 balls and place them on the lined baking sheets about 2 inches apart (they will spread quite a bit). Bake until the tops are lightly browned and the bottoms are golden, 16 to 20 minutes.
• For the glaze: Meanwhile, whisk together the powdered sugar, yogurt and salt in a bowl.
• Let the scones cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool for 5 more minutes. While they're still a little warm, brush with the glaze, then sprinkle with the sanding sugar, if using. These are best enjoyed the day of.

BLUEBERRY YOGURT SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the butter with two butter knives or a pastry cutter, trying not to leave any big chunks of butter in the flour.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and yogurt. Add it to the flour and butter mixture, along with the dried blueberries. Fold the mixture together with a spatula, trying your best not to overwork the dough. If the dough is looking a bit dry, you can add some whole milk a tablespoon at a time until it comes together.
• Using the spatula, just start taking chunks of dough and shape them roughly into little mounds onto a sheet pan lined with nonstick foil. You should have enough dough for about 10 to 12 scones.
• Then mix 1/2 teaspoon sugar with 1 tablespoon of milk and use that mixture to brush the top of each scone. Pop these into the oven and turn the temperature down to 400 degrees. Bake for about 12 minutes until golden.

BLUEBERRY SCONES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/ gas 6 and line a baking tray with parchment. To make the scones, put the flour, baking powder, sugar and lemon zest in a large bowl and mix together to combine. Add the butter and use your fingers to rub into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs (don't rub too thoroughly; some larger lumps are preferable). Add the blueberries and toss together.
• In a small jug, mix together the cream, vanilla and eggs, and pour into the mixture. Use a cutlery knife to stir together until the mixture starts to form a dough. Tip onto the work surface and use your hands to gently knead until the dough just comes together. Lightly flour your work surface and flatten the dough into a disc about 2.5cm thick. Use a sharp knife to cut it into eight triangles.
• Transfer the scones to the prepared baking tray. Beat the remaining egg, then lightly brush it over the top of each scone. Bake in the oven for about 20-25 mins or until deep golden brown. Will keep for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
