Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1½ cups all purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup quick cooking oats
Wet Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter, chilled
- heaping ⅓ cup vanilla yogurt
- ¾ cup fruit jam
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375° F with a rack in the center position. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, sea salt, and granulated sugar until evenly distributed.
- Cut in Butter: Using a fork or pastry cutter, cut the chilled unsalted butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles small pebbles. This ensures a flaky texture in the scones.
- Add Yogurt and Oats: Stir in the vanilla yogurt until just incorporated. Then add the quick cooking oats and mix until the dough is well combined, but be careful not to overmix.
- Form Dough Balls: Divide the dough into 12 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball, then gently flatten into thick disks. Place these evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake Scones: Bake the scones in the preheated oven for 12 minutes, until they are golden and cooked through.
- Create Wells: Using the end of a wooden spoon, gently press a small well into the center of each warm scone to hold the jam.
- Fill with Jam and Serve: Transfer scones to a serving plate and allow to cool slightly for about 5 minutes. Spoon 1 tablespoon of your preferred fruit jam into each scone’s well and serve warm for the best taste.
Notes
- Note 1: You can substitute vanilla yogurt with plain yogurt if preferred, but the vanilla adds a subtle sweetness.
- Note 2: Press the wells gently to avoid breaking the scones; this will help hold the jam perfectly.
