Method

Preheat oven to 200°C/180°C fan forced. Line a rimmed baking tray with baking paper. In a large bowl whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Add the Jalna yoghurt and half the milk and stir with a wooden spoon until dough just comes together.

Transfer to a lightly floured bench. Add enough of remaining milk just until a dough forms. Knead a few times, until dough is smooth (it will be fairly sticky).

Lightly flour a work surface and using a floured rolling pin roll the dough out to 25mm thick. Cut with a floured 10cm wide scone cutter or drinking glass and place on the baking tray. Bake 15 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm with a dollop of yoghurt and jam, honey or berry compote.

Note: Try adding sultanas, cranberries, mixed pepita and sunflower seeds. For a savoury scone, omit the sugar and add fresh or dried herbs, like oregano, thyme, dill.
