Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 4 tsp. baking powder
  • 3/4 tsp. salt
  • 1/3 cup cold butter, diced
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2/3 cup yogurt
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • For egg wash –
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tbsp milk
  • Plus extra flour for dusting surface
  • *Optional – dried fruit, orange zest, vanilla bean powder, etc. for extra flavor

Instructions

  1. Pre-heat oven to 400 and place your baking sheets in the oven to pre-heat as well.
  2. Mix together the dry ingredients in a food processor for a few seconds. Add the butter and mix about 30 seconds until the butter is evenly spread out throughout the flour mixture.
  3. In a microwave-safe bowl, mix together the yogurt, milk and vanilla. Microwave 1 minute. It might look a little bit lumpy or curdled, but that’s ok!
  4. Add to flour mixture in the food processor. Mix JUST until combined.
  5. Turn it out on a lightly floured surface. Form into a ball and then press out into a disk about 1 1/2 – 2 in thick. Cut into 8 equal parts.
  6. Lightly dust each slice with flour and transfer to the pre-heated baking sheet. Brush with egg wash (1 beaten egg with 1 tbsp milk). Bake 10-12 minutes at 400 degrees.
  7. Serve with spreadable fruit and whipped butter.
  8. If you have any leftovers, be sure to store them in an air-tight container and serve them toasted.
