QUICK YOGURT SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Grease a large baking sheet.
• Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt With a pastry cutter, cut the flour mixture together with the cold margarine and brown sugar until well blended.
• In a small bowl beat together the yogurt and 1 egg. Pour into the pastry mixture. Add raisins and stir just until mixed.
• Drop by rounded 1/4-cup measures onto the prepared baking sheet. Beat remaining egg and brush onto tops of scones. Bake for 12-15 minutes. Serve warm.

EASY FLUFFY SCONES

Steps:

• Put a baking sheet in the oven at 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Put the flour, salt and baking powder into a food processor, then whizz in the butter until it disappears. Pulse in the sugar, tip into a large bowl, then make a well in the middle.
• Warm the yogurt, milk and vanilla together in the microwave for 1 min or in a pan; it should be hot and may well go a bit lumpy-looking. Tip into the bowl and quickly work into the flour mix using a cutlery knife. As soon as it's all in, stop.
• Tip the dough onto a floured surface, then, with floured hands, fold the dough over a few times - just enough to create a smoothish dough. Press out to about 4cm/1½in thick, dip a 7cm cutter into more flour, then stamp out 4 rounds, flouring the cutter each time. Squash the remainder lightly together, then repeat until the dough is used up. Brush tops with egg wash, scatter flour over the hot sheet, then lift the scones on. Bake for 12 mins until risen and golden. Best eaten just-warm, or on the day.

• Heat oven to 400°F.
• Mix flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda and salt in medium bowl.
• Cut in butter using pastry blender or 2 knives, until mixture looks like fine crumbs.
• Stir in buttermilk so dough leaves sides of bowl and forms a ball.
• Turn dough onto lightly floured surface.
• Knead lightly 10 times.
• Pat or roll into 7 inch circle on ungreased cookie sheet that has been sprinkled with cornmeal.
• Score top into 8 wedges, cutting down halfway to the bottom.
• Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until light brown.
• Immediately remove from cookie sheet, carefully separate wedges.

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
• Sift flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a mixing bowl. Cut in cold butter with 2 knives or a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in yogurt, then cranberries.
• Form dough into a ball and place on the prepared baking sheet. Pat down into a 1/4-inch to 1/2-inch thick circle. Sprinkle with sugar and cut into 8 segments.
• Bake in the preheated oven until edges are slightly crisp and top is browned, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and redefine the cut marks.

STRAWBERRY LEMON YOGURT QUICK BREAD

Steps:

• For the bread. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9x5 loaf pan with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, lemon zest, baking soda, and salt until well combined. Then, using a spatula, gently fold in 1 cup of strawberries so that the strawberries are covered with the flour mixture. Set aside.
• In another bowl, whisk together the yogurt, butter, lemon juice, egg, and vanilla extract until creamy and uniform in appearance. Then, pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients.
• Using a spatula, fold the mixture together until the batter is just combined (you no longer see dry ingredients and the dough will look a little raggedy, thick, and not completely smooth).
• Using clean hands, knead the dough a few times to form a loaf shape. Do not overmix. Pick up the dough and place it in the loaf pan. Top it with the remaining ½ cup of strawberries, pressing the strawberries down gently into the dough.
• Bake for 45-65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer (or cake tester) comes out clean in the center.
• For the glaze. As the bread bakes, whisk together the lemon juice and sugar until well combined. After the cake is ready and still hot, poke holes using a wooden or metal skewer or the tip of a knife into the top of the bread and pour the glaze over it.
• Let the bread cool slightly in the loaf pan before eating. Best enjoyed the same day it's baked.

YOGURT CHEESE BREAD

Steps:

• Beat yogurt and salt together in large bowl until smooth. Gradually add flour until you have a stiff dough. Tip onto a lightly floured bench and gradually knead dough, incorporating any remaining flour until the dough is soft and only slightly sticky. Transfer to a clean bowl and stand covered 30 minutes.
• When ready to cook, divide dough into 8 equal portions. Roll out thinly. Pile a small handful of cheese in the centre of the rolled out dough. Brush a little water around edges before folding over cheeses to seal. Pat cheese parcel with palm of hand until pressed together and about 5mm thick.
• Heat a large non-stick frying pan over very high heat. When hot, cook cheese parcels one at a time until browned and crisp on base. Flip over and continue to cook on other side until browned. Transfer to a large chopping board and cut in half to serve. Serve with salsa as a light snack.
• Tomato Salsa: Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl, stir well. Serve with cheese bread.

BLUEBERRY CREAM CHEESE SCONES WITH YOGURT GLAZE

Steps:

• For the scones: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
• Add the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt and lemon zest to a food processor and pulse to combine. Add the butter and pulse until it's mostly pea-sized; a few larger chunks are okay. Dump the mixture into a large bowl and gently toss in the blueberries.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, yogurt, vanilla and almond extract. Pour into the dry ingredients and, using a rubber spatula, mix until about 80 percent of the dry mixture is incorporated. Dollop teaspoon-sized plops of cream cheese all over the mixture, then gently fold the mixture just until the remaining dry ingredients are incorporated. (You want the cream cheese to generally stay intact but it will of course swirl a little.) Using an ice cream scoop or large spoon, divide the dough into 8 balls and place them on the lined baking sheets about 2 inches apart (they will spread quite a bit). Bake until the tops are lightly browned and the bottoms are golden, 16 to 20 minutes.
• For the glaze: Meanwhile, whisk together the powdered sugar, yogurt and salt in a bowl.
• Let the scones cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool for 5 more minutes. While they're still a little warm, brush with the glaze, then sprinkle with the sanding sugar, if using. These are best enjoyed the day of.
