A delicious and simple scones recipe. Considering that it doesn’t call for milk or eggs, this is a little uncommon. The outcome is a gorgeous, airy scone that is really delightful!

| Total Time: | 40 mins |

| Yield: | 8 scones |
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup white sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
- ½ cup vanilla yogurt
- ½ cup fresh cranberries
- 1 tablespoon turbinado sugar, or to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
- Sift flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a mixing bowl. Cut in cold butter with 2 knives or a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in yogurt, then cranberries.
- Form dough into a ball and place on the prepared baking sheet. Pat down into a 1/4-inch to 1/2-inch thick circle. Sprinkle with sugar and cut into 8 segments.
- Bake in the preheated oven until edges are slightly crisp and top is browned, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and redefine the cut marks.
- You can use plain yogurt if you prefer instead of vanilla. And if you don’t have fresh cranberries, you can use dried cranberries or dried cherries.
- This makes a great holiday gift when you make up the dry ingredients and provide the recipe with a bag of cranberries.

This recipe is fabulous and very easy. I used whole wheat flour and plain Greek yogurt so I added a splash of vanilla. I will definitely make it again. I used red turbinado sugar on top because that is what I had.
Great scones. I changed a couple of things as i have a dairy allergy. i used Lactose free butter,lactose free vanilla yogurt. I used light brown sugar as i did not have turbinado sugar, and google said that i could . Very lovely light scone that goes great with any hot drink. Thank you Lindsay for a lovely dessert. Lyndsey,this is my review Manella.
