280 g (2 cups) spelt flour
½ teaspoon sea salt
15 g (3 teaspoons) baking powder
250 ml (1 generous cup) natural Greek yoghurt
125 ml (½ cup) milk, your choice
1 generous tablespoon raw honey
METHOD –
PREHEAT your oven to 180°C, fan forced. COMBINE the spelt flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl. IN A SEPARATE BOWL, combine the yoghurt, milk and honey. POUR the yoghurt mixture into the flour.
MIX lightly with a fork or knife until you achieve a soft sticky dough. SCOOP OUT 8 portions onto a lined baking tray, using an ice cream scoop or just dollop on with a spoon.
BAKE for 15 minutes until golden.
SERVE warm with jam and a dollop of yoghurt.
INSPIRATION
Cook scones on top of the stove instead of the oven. Just scoop out portions onto a heated non-stick pan and cook over a gentle heat with the lid on for 4 minutes on each side until golden.
Fold through fresh blueberries or chopped pear.
For a savoury scone, add chopped chives, grated zucchini and a handful of cheddar. Serve with Greek yoghurt or smashed avocado.
Makes 8 ugly scones.
