2 ingredient scones

I am very serious when I say that “this recipe works!”  It really does. No more rubbing butter and flour until your fingers are numb.  Use my recipe (be specific with the quantities) & you will get light & fluffy scones every time.

Some of you may have already seen this recipe as I shared it on my other page ‘'Simple home cook'’ a little while back & it went crazy.   It is a recipe that has been passed down generations in my husband’s family & now I am sharing it with you.  Get started now & these soft & fluffy scones will be ready within 25 mins!

Enjoy!

2 ingredient dough

I used to make dough the traditional way (flour, yeast, water, salt, oil etc) and leave for hours to rise.  This was fine until I heard about dough being made with only 2 ingredients - self-raising flour & greek yoghurt.

I was skeptical at first but to my surprise it actually tasted fantastic!  A lovely lady gave me this recipe and now I make all my scrolls using this method. 

2 ingredient dough

• 3 cups self-raising flour
• 2 cups natural greek yoghurt - that's it!!

Add together in a large bowl and knead with an electric mixer until combined.  Turn out onto a heavily floured bench and bring together with your hands. No rising time required, just roll out, pop your fillings on and bake.
