Scones are special treats for tea time.
Growing up, my mom use to make them cause they were.easy to make and super.yum.
So in celebration of Mother's Day I recreated this for my Son as an act of love...
But don't be shocked if your neighbours come.knocking because of the aroma....
The smell of these yummy treats can be very divine!
Sitting and sipping cold drinks or Lemon tea with some yummy scones is an act of Love for me...
So enjoy!!

Steps

Preparation 15m

1

You will need to Pre heat the Oven....
Put flour, Baking Powder, salt, cinnamon, sugar and mix well...
Add in butter and rub in with your fingers until mixture looks like fine crumbs.
2

Break the egg into the Yougugt and slightly beat and mix into the dried ingredients.
(I.pour in half of the egg and Yougugt mixture)
Dough maybe a little crumbled, then add.in the dried mixed.fruit...
Then pour in the last egg and Yougugt mixture and.mix to form a dough..
And allow it just sit for awhile so all the flavours come together.
3

Place dough on floured suface and knead gently.
You can roll into circles about 11/2 inches thick.
4

Place wedges on a greased pan slightly apart for crisp sides.
Bake for about 12 -15 mins until the to Brown's nicely. (not this depends largely on the thickness of your wedges and consistency of your dough).
Allow it to just sit on the baking tray inside the oven to cool off..(After the oven has been switched off.)
This gives the Scones that extra crispness...
