Ingredients

  • 140g Spelt flour

  • 150g Plain flour

  • 1½ tsp Salt

  • 1 tbsp Baking powder

  • 115g Unsalted butter, chilled and cubed

  • 310g Greek yoghurt

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 230C/gas mark 8. Sift flours, salt and baking powder into a bowl. Add the butter and rub between your fingers until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add the yoghurt and mix to a smooth paste.

  2. Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Roll out to about 2cm thick. Cut into 10 or 12 scones. Place the scones on a lightly greased or non-stick liner, leaving about 3cm between each one. Bake for 15-18 minutes until golden.

  3. For savoury scones, add 50gm cheese and a sprinkling of herbs of your choosing.
