RECIPE: http://amyshealthybaking.com/blog/2015/05/05/clean-chocolate-chip-scones/ 

1 ½ cup flour –> 375ml 1 ½ tsp powder 28g unsalted butter (12mm) ½ cup Jalna Greek yoghurt –> 8 tbsp 3 tbsp caster sugar 80 ml almond milk 1 tsp vanilla (scant) 3 tbsp choc chip–> dark

Cut butter into tiny cubes, put in freezer.

Mix flour, powder.

Mix yoghurt, sugar, milk and vanilla in small bowl.

Cut butter into flour mixture using fork and knife/fingers.

Pour wet into dry, mix with knife till nearly combined. Add choc chips and knead a couple times till JUST combined.

Put on paper-lined tray, pat into circle about 20cm diameter. (Didn’t even add all the liquid but it was very sticky already.)

Chill in fridge for 10 minutes, then slice into 8. (Didn’t really separate them because too sticky – apparently they rise better when close together tho.)

218 degrees – 13-14 min till toothpick comes out clean

Prep took ½ hour, felt like so long though. Everything is super easy except for cutting the butter into the flour which took like 15-20 min probably >_< altogether still very efficient - do washup in the 10 min chilling time, then no baking tin to wash afterwards :D

Took out of oven at 15 minutes.

Scone is only very slightly sweet on its own but the chocolate chips make it too sweet and there is an abundance of choc chips - so can reduce sugar to 2 tbsp + 1 tsp.

Best scones I’ve made yet cos the honey + yoghurt taste used to be just a bit weird whereas plain sugar imparts sweetness without any other (impure lol) taste.

Very moist. Oh also, can’t taste the almond milk, but maybe it did make a little contribution in reducing the yoghurt taste cos I can’t taste yoghurt much either. 

NOTES:

Next time 60ml almond milk

I’m getting good at this .... using leftovers for awesomely tasty AND healthy food! Previously did chocolate muffins with applesauce and chocolate sour cream. Once again, proud to introduce another recipe made with leftovers! 

Had some extra applesauce from a different cake recipe + some extra chocolate sour cream from the coffee cheesecake.

I chucked a tantrum this week. It wasn’t your classic 2 year old lying down in the aisle of the supermarket whilst thrashing around tantrum. Nor was the 3 year old kind involving a boisterous screaming match and much foot stomping. It was the Mummy kind, and it came after 2 weeks of winter school holidays that has seen us cooped up indoors for most of the time with crappy weather or snotty noses.…
