scones addiction

yea i did it again. i made scones randomly just to have a good breakfast :D
it's two days weather really sucks.. this rainy windy thing is not my cup of tea. i have to say though that here it's still a bit warm, not really cold outside, and this makes things a bit better. i also got a cold and i despise that.. in this season it just calls for sinusitis with me, bla :P

i like nutmeg a lot. i guess it's one of my fav spices ever, its flavor kinda intrigues me.. i'm used to have an awesome sugar to sprinkle on sweet food, made mixing caster sugar, sugar in a bit bigger crystals, nutmef, cinnamon and allspice. so i chose a recipe including yogurt because i had wish of soft soft scones and added a bit of spices to it. to me the match nutmeg flavor - fresh cheese just makes a delicious breakfast plan eheh

yogurt scones
with a hint of cinnamon and nutmeg
50g softened butter
200g plain flour
1tbsp sugar
1tbsp baking powder
280g plain yogurt
1pinch of salt
1pinch of ground nutmeg and cinnamon, mixed

rub together flour, salt, baking powder, spices and butter with fingertips to make fine crumbs. stir in sugar and yogurt, mixing roughly. i like to keep the dough very soft for these scones, even if it may be way softer than normal scone dough. it keeps then very soft once baked. spread the dough on a baking sheet, cut it in 9 or so parts without separating them.
bake for about 10min in preheated oven at 220°C. divide the scones and eat them when still warm.
