This is out of a Weight Watchers cookbook called Two's Company . I always double it and freeze them. DH gave them an excellent rating. They are easy to make and oh so good! 4 pointplus per scone. Hope you enjoy! Update: Just made these again tonight. You can use any dried fruit like, apricots (my favorite), dates, raisins etc. I add the dried fruit to the flour mixture before adding the yogurt. I plan to make them with dried apples, adding a touch of cinnamon and topping them with cinnamon sugar. I also use 1/2 the sugar on top. Ingredients:
2/3 cup all-purpose flour |
2 tablespoons sugar |
1/2 teaspoon baking powder |
1/4 teaspoon baking soda |
1 dash salt |
1 tablespoon chilled butter or 1 tablespoon margarine, cut into small pieces |
1/3 cup low-fat vanilla yogurt |
2 tablespoons chopped dried peaches |
cooking spray |
1/2 teaspoon nonfat milk |
1 teaspoon sugar |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a bowl.
3. Cut in butter with a pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse meal.
4. Add yogurt and dried peaches to flour mixture, stirring just until moist.
5. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead lightly 4 or 5 times; dough may be slightly sticky.
6. Pat dough into a 5-inch circle on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray.
7. Cut circle into 4 wedges; separate wedges slightly.
8. Brush milk over dough and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon sugar.
9. Bake for 14 minutes or until golden.
