Ingredients

• 240 grams all-purpose flour
• 50 grams granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 tablespoon lemon zest
• 120 grams low-fat plain Greek yogurt
• 60 milliliters unsweetened almond milk
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 30 grams cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
• 10 grams powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and lemon zest.

Step 3

Add the cold unsalted butter pieces to the bowl. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

In a small bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, almond milk, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth.

Step 5

Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Use a spatula to mix the dough until it just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a circle about 2 cm (3/4 inch) thick.

Step 7

Using a sharp knife, cut the circle into 8 equal wedges. Place the wedges onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until the scones are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the scones from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

If desired, dust the cooled scones with powdered sugar before serving.
