Greek Yogurt Scones

Greek Yogurt Scones

Makes about 12

Ingredients

2 cups (300g) plain flour

2 teaspoons sugar

3 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup (250g) Jalna Sweet & Creamy Greek Yoghurt + extra to serve

1/2 cup (125ml) milk

Method

Preheat oven to 200°C/180°C fan forced. Line a rimmed baking tray with baking paper. In a large bowl whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Add the yoghurt and half the milk and stir with a wooden spoon until dough just comes together.

Transfer to a lightly floured bench. Add enough of remaining milk just until a dough forms. Knead a few times, until dough is smooth (it will be fairly sticky).

Lightly flour a work surface and using a floured rolling pin roll the dough out to 25mm thick. Cut with a floured 10cm wide scone cutter or drinking glass and place on the baking tray. Bake 15 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm with a dollop of yoghurt and jam, honey or berry compote.

Notes

Add sultanas, cranberries, mixed pepita and sunflower seeds.

For a savoury scone, omit the sugar and add fresh or dried herbs, like oregano, thyme, dill.

Jalna's NEW Greek Sweet and Creamy Yoghourt delivers on taste without compromising on purity

The team behind Australia's best-selling pot set Greek yoghourt has launched NEW Jalna Sweet and Creamy, which is based on Jalna's Natural Greek Yoghourt recipe.

Jalna's Natural Greek Yoghourt was recently named Champion Natural Yoghourt at the 2013 Australian Grand Dairy Awards, so it's a natural progression for Jalna to create a sweet twist on this traditional favourite.

Sweet and Creamy offers a velvety smooth, heavenly flavour that is less acidic than traditional Greek yoghourts, while still delivering the well-known health benefits of Greek yoghourt.

Jalna Sweet and Creamy is lightly sweetened with fruit juice, so there is no added cane sugar or artificial sweeteners, in fact there's nothing artificial in any Jalna products; no gums, starches, gluten, gelatine, stabilisers, preservatives, colours or acidifiers, no numbers in the ingredients list or words you don't understand, just honest natural goodness.

Leading dietitian Karen Inge suggests substituting cream in everyday dessert recipes for Jalna Sweet and Creamy yoghourt; -Jalna Sweet and Creamy yoghourt is delicious with stewed apples and a sprinkling of toasted muesli to provide a healthy dessert that offers a good source of calcium, protein and probiotics.'

Jalna has also recently launched its NEW snack size Citrus Splice, another good dessert alternative that is a throwback to that famous 1980's pairing of citrus and cream that conjures up memories of walking to the corner store on a hot summer's day.

Like all quality Jalna products, both Sweet and Creamy and Citrus Splice are packed with more than three million friendly acidophilus, bifidus and casei probiotic cultures in every 100g to help aide digestion, one of the key markers of good health.

Both yoghourts offer a protein rich snack that can be enjoyed at any time of the day, and are especially delicious when topped with fresh berries and nuts. Sweet and Creamy can also be used in cooking as a yoghourt marinade for sweet chilli chicken, a base for a prawn dipping sauce or a creamy salad dressing.

In essence Jalna yoghourts:

Are pot set therefore there is no need for any artificial additives
Contain 3 million+ ABC probiotic cultures per 100g
Are Australian made and owned
