When I create recipes, there always has to be a reason. So what’s the reason for my yogurt scones? It’s all about how the ingredients perfectly complement each other, not just in flavor, but in the way they affect one another. Yogurt is naturally acidic, and that acid helps tenderize the flour. I dare you to find a more tender scone!

As for the “why raspberry”? That’s a no-brainer—raspberry jam is my favorite!
