Easy 3-Ingredient Scones
These easy scones require just three ingredients, making them a quick and versatile treat perfect for breakfast or tea time.
Ingredients
For the scones
- 2 cups all-purpose flour Substitute half with whole wheat for nuttiness.
- 1 cup full-fat Greek yogurt Acts as both liquid and binder; use coconut yogurt for dairy-free.
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- Pinch fine salt Optional but recommended.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment.
- Whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl until evenly combined.
- Add the yogurt and stir with a wooden spoon until the dough roughly comes together. It will be slightly sticky but manageable.
- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and pat it into a round about 1 inch thick. Avoid overworking.
- Using a sharp knife, cut the round into 6–8 wedges. Transfer wedges to the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them.
- Brush the tops lightly with extra yogurt or milk for extra browning (optional).
Baking
- Bake for 12–15 minutes, rotating the pan halfway, until tops are golden and a skewer comes out clean.
- Let rest for 5 minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer to a rack to cool slightly before serving.
Notes
Serve warm for the best texture. Store in an airtight container for up to 24 hours at room temperature. Refrigerate for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.
