These Golden Raisin Yogurt Scones are a delightful twist on a classic treat, perfect for breakfast or a cozy afternoon snack.
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Using parchment paper prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Sifting the dry ingredients together ensures an even distribution of leavening agents.
Cut the cold butter into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Keep the butter cold to achieve a flaky texture in the scones.
Stir in the brown sugar and golden raisins.
Coating the raisins in the flour mixture prevents them from sinking to the bottom of the scones.
In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt and one egg.
Ensure the yogurt and egg are well combined for a smooth mixture.
Pour the yogurt mixture into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined.
Avoid overmixing to keep the scones tender.
Drop the dough by rounded 1/4-cup measures onto the prepared baking sheet.
Using a cookie scoop can help achieve uniform scone sizes.
Beat the remaining egg and brush it over the tops of the scones.
The egg wash gives the scones a beautiful golden color when baked.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
Check the scones at 12 minutes to prevent overbaking.
Serve the scones warm and enjoy!
Pair with your favorite jam or a dollop of clotted cream for a classic touch.
