A fruity & wholesome breakfast or snack
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- ⅓ cup sugar
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoon baking powder
- Zest of 1 lemon
- ½ cup (1 stick) butter, cold
- 1 egg
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
- ¼ cup milk
- ½ cup Chukar® Sour Cherry Preserves or Chukar® Sweet Cherry Preserves
- 1 teaspoon milk
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
Method
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Mix the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and lemon zest in a large bowl.
- Cut the butter into small chunks, add it to the dry ingredients, and cut it in with a pastry blender (or rub it in with your fingers until it resembles fine breadcrumbs).
- Whisk together the egg, yogurt, and milk. Stir into the dry mixture until a dough forms.
- Gently fold in Chukar® Sour Cherry Preserves or Chukar® Sweet Cherry Preserves.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and briefly knead. If the dough is too wet, add a little extra flour while kneading. Pat the dough into a flat disk about 2 inches thick. Cut into wedges.
- Transfer the dough to a parchment-lined or lightly greased baking sheet. If you want crispier scones, separate the wedges a little. If you prefer them soft, leave them touching one another. Brush the tops of the scones with 1 teaspoon milk. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon brown sugar.
- Bake in the oven for 25 minutes or until light golden brown. Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack before serving.
