Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold
• 0.75 cup low-fat Greek yogurt
• 0.25 cup skim milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup fresh blueberries
• 1 egg (optional, for egg wash)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

Cut the cold unsalted butter into small cubes and add to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

In a medium bowl, whisk together the low-fat Greek yogurt, skim milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Carefully fold in the fresh blueberries, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.

Step 7

Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead a few times to bring it together. Shape it into a round disk about 1 inch thick.

Step 8

Using a sharp knife or a bench scraper, cut the disk into 8 even wedges.

Step 9

Place the wedges onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart to allow for spreading.

Step 10

If desired, beat the optional egg and brush it lightly over the tops of the scones for a shiny finish.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and cooked through.

Step 12

Allow to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Step 13

Enjoy the scones warm, or let them come to room temperature and store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
