Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (250 mL) whole wheat flour
  • 1 cup (250 mL) white flour
  • 1 tbsp (15 mL) baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp (2 mL) baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp (2 mL) salt
  • 2 tsp (10 mL) sugar
  • 1/2 cup (125 mL) butter or margarine
  • 1/2 cup (125 mL) plain Balkan-style yogurt
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup (125 mL) grated old Cheddar cheese

Instructions:

  1. Mix together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar. Cut in margarine into the dry ingredients until a nice crumbly texture is created. Mix in grated cheese. Mix in the yogurt and egg. You should have a nice firm dough. If it seems too dry, add a little bit more yogurt or some milk.
  2. Roll out dough, or pat it out with your hand. Use a measuring cup to cut out 12 circles. Preheat oven to 400ºC. When oven is warm put scones in, and bake for 10 minutes or until lightly browned.
