Ingredients

 2 cups self-raising flour
 2 cups wholemeal selfraising flour
 1 cup reduced-fat Greek yoghurt
 3 cups reduced-fat milk
 120 g margarine
 2 cups untoasted, unsweetened muesli with dried fruit

Method

1

Preheat oven to 250°C, lightly grease a 19cm square cake tin with margarine.

2

Sift the wholemeal and plain flours.

3

Add margarine - using fingertips rub margarine into flour until mixture resembles breadcrumbs.

4

Add milk and yoghurt and softly stir in, add a little more milk if needed.

5

Turn dough onto floured bench and add muesli kneading in gently till dough comes together.

6

Shape dough out to 2cm in thickness and using a 5cm round cutter cut desired quantity of rounds from dough using a cutter or a glass.

7

Place scones on prepared tray.

8

Bake scones for 15-20min or until golden.

9

Serve on their own with fresh seasonal fruit or with a small amount of jam.

Variations

  • Try adding different fresh/dried/frozen fruit varieties such as frozen berries, dried cranberries or diced banana to mix it up (using fresh or frozen varieties may decrease the shelf life).
  • Leave out the muesli to make savoury scones and try adding ½ cup reduced-fat cheese, 1 clove of garlic and 1 tbsp. chopped chives.
  • Try adding 1 teaspoon of grated orange or lemon peel to add flavour.

Tips

  • Try using a muffin tin instead of a baking tin if the scones stick together after baking.
