Cranberry Walnut Greek Yogurt Scones Recipes

CRANBERRY-WALNUT GREEK YOGURT SCONES

Steps:

• Line cookie sheet with cooking parchment paper; set aside.
• In large bowl, mix flour, baking powder, salt and granulated sugar with whisk. Toss in butter, and pinch butter into flour using your fingertips or pastry blender until there are oatmeal-sized flakes of butter throughout. Add cranberries and walnuts, tossing to combine.
• In small bowl, beat yogurt, milk and 1 egg with whisk. Add to flour mixture; stir gently until just combined. Place dough on work surface sprinkled with flour; knead a few times to bring dough together. Gently pat dough out into a round; cut into 8 wedges using sharp knife. Transfer wedges to cookie sheet. Brush tops of wedges with egg wash; sprinkle generously with coarse sugar. Place in freezer for several hours--until frozen solid--before transferring to freezer bag and stashing back in freezer until ready to bake.
• To bake frozen scones, heat oven to 425°F. Line cookie sheet with cooking parchment paper, and place as many scones as you'd like to bake onto cookie sheet. Bake frozen scones 18 to 20 minutes or until brown. Cool slightly before serving.
