There is nothing better than a fresh scone with your morning coffee. I love this recipe because the Greek yogurt makes them so soft and moist, which is exactly how a good scone should be.

Make sure your butter is really cold before you start. This is the secret to getting those perfect flaky layers that everyone loves in a bakery scone.

🧺 Ingredients

2 cups all purpose flour
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cubed
1/2 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup Greek yogurt
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

👩‍🍳Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3
Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the cold butter into the flour mixture until it looks like coarse crumbs.
4
Stir in the chocolate chips.
5
In a small bowl, whisk the Greek yogurt, egg, and vanilla together, then pour this into the flour mixture.
6
Stir until the dough just comes together, being careful not to overwork it.
7
Turn the dough onto a floured surface, pat it into an eight inch circle, and cut it into eight even wedges.
8
Place the wedges on your baking sheet and bake for 15 to 18 minutes until they are golden brown.
9
Let them cool on the pan for a few minutes before moving them to a wire rack.

💡 Tips

Store your leftover scones in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. If you want them to taste fresh again, just pop them in the oven for a few minutes or enjoy them cold with a little extra butter.
