This is a classic recipe, and with the current butter prices, these butterless scones are a great option to try! We’ve used olive oil in this recipe, but you can also try lemonade scones which use cream as the fat ingredient to bring everything together.

Ingredients

2 cup (300g) self-raising flour

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup (250ml) skim milk

1/4 cup (70g) low-fat yoghurt

1/4 cup (60ml) light olive oil

jam, to serve

Method

Preheat oven to 220°C (200°C fan-forced). Lightly grease and flour a baking tray.

Sift flour and salt into a medium bowl; make a well in centre. Lightly whisk milk, yoghurt and oil together. Add to flour, stirring quickly with a knife, to form a soft dough, adding a little more milk if necessary.

Drop heaped tablespoons of dough onto prepared tray, 3cm apart. Bake 12-15 minutes, until risen and golden. Serve warm with jam.

Stir in a little grated orange or lemon rind or mixed spice to flavour these scones.
