GREEK YOGURT BLUEBERRY SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°(F). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
• In a large bowl mix together flours, salt, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and lemon zest.
• Cut the butter into small cubes then quickly work it into the mixture (using your fingers) until lit resembles a coarse meal.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, Greek yogurt, milk, and vanilla, then add to flour and butter mixture. Use a fork to stir everything together until just moistened.
• Add in the blueberries and gently fold them into dough with a spatula - don't worry if some of the berries break up a bit.
• Pour the shaggy dough out onto a clean, floured work surface and shape the dough into an 8-inch circle. Cut the dough into 8 wedges and carefully transfer to the prepared sheet.
• Lightly brush each scones with the egg wash, then sprinkle the top of each scone with sugar.
• Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden brown.
• Cool for about 10 minutes, then make your glaze.

ORANGE YOGURT SCONES

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine the flour, 1/3 cup sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt; cut in butter until crumbly. In another bowl, whisk the yogurt, orange juice and peel; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Turn onto a floured surface; knead 10 times.
• Transfer dough to a greased baking sheet. Pat into an 8-in. circle. Cut into eight wedges, but do not separate. Sprinkle with remaining sugar. Bake at 400° for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.

LOW-FAT BLUEBERRY SCONES (USING HEART HEALTHY BISQUICK MIX)

Steps:

• NOTE: I make these scones using the "Bisquick Heart Healthy" lower fat product, but the nutrition content stated is for Standard Bisquick.
• In a large bowl, gently toss Bisquick Mix, sugar and blueberries. If you have a fresh lemon, you can also add 1 t. lemon ZEST for a great flavor boost. Set aside dry mixture.
• In a 1 cup measure, whisk milk and egg together.
• Pour liquids into Bisquick bowl and use a fork to mix things together gently. Use a large cookie scoop to portion out 8 dollops of dough onto parchment paper.
• Use wet fingers to flatten each scone slightly.
• Bake 400 degrees for 10 minutes or until edges are browning.
• Glaze: Mix lemon juice with Confectioners Sugar to achieve a thin consistency. Drizzle over cooled scones.
• NOTE: Due to low fat content, these probably won't freeze very well, so make them and eat them!
