Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. (5 minutes)

03

Step

Cut in the cold, cubed butter using a pastry blender or two knives until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. (5 minutes)

04

Step

Gently stir in the vanilla yogurt until just combined, then fold in the fresh cranberries. Be careful not to overmix. (5 minutes)

05

Step

Turn the dough out onto the prepared baking sheet and form it into a ball. Pat it down into a circle, approximately 1/2-inch thick. (3 minutes)

06

Step

Sprinkle the top of the dough generously with turbinado sugar. (1 minute)

07

Step

Using a sharp knife or dough scraper, cut the circle into 8 equal segments, like slicing a pie. (2 minutes)

08

Step

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until the edges are lightly crisp and the tops are golden brown. (20 minutes)

09

Step

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly on the baking sheet. Gently redefine the cut marks before serving. (5 minutes)

For best results, ensure all ingredients are cold, especially the butter and yogurt. This helps create a flaky texture.
If you don't have turbinado sugar, coarse sugar or even granulated sugar will work as a substitute.
Feel free to experiment with other flavors! Orange zest, lemon zest, or a pinch of cinnamon can add a delightful twist.
These scones are best enjoyed warm, ideally within a few hours of baking.
