Yogurt scones are a type of British cake that has gained popularity in Argentina as an option for afternoon tea and breakfast. These scones stand out for their soft texture and easy preparation.
The yogurt scone recipe benefits from the inclusion of yogurt in the dough, which provides moisture and a lighter texture compared to other versions. This combination of simple ingredients and a reduced cooking time has made them a common accompaniment for mate, tea, or coffee.
The preparation of these scones involves mixing flour, butter, sugar, baking powder, egg, and natural yogurt. Recognizable by their tender crumb and slightly golden crust, these bites do not require a rising process and have a relatively short preparation time.
