Makes: 8 scones
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, chilled and diced into small pieces
- ¼ cup granulated sugar, plus 1 tsp for sprinkling on top
- ½ cup vanilla Greek yogurt (if you can't find vanilla, use plain and add extra vanilla extract)
- ¼ cup whole milk, plus 1 Tbsp for brushing on top
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- ¾ cup crushed Cadbury Mini Eggs
Icing
- ½ cup confectioners' sugar
- 1 Tbsp whole milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Cut in butter with a pastry cutter or fork (or your hands), until pea-size pieces form with some larger chunks remaining.
- Mix in sugar. Using a spatula, stir in Greek yogurt, milk, and vanilla extract until just combined. Fold in crushed Cadbury Mini Eggs.
- On a lightly floured surface, gently knead the dough a few times. Then using your hands, form a circle about ¾" thick. Slice dough into 8 triangles and place on prepared baking sheet.
- Brush scones with milk and sprinkle with sugar.
- Bake for 13-15 minutes, until scones are turning golden on top.
- Let cool for a few minutes before drizzling icing over scones.
Icing
- In a medium bowl, whisk together confectioners' sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. If icing is too thick, add more milk ¼ tsp at a time. If it's too thin, add more confectioners' sugar 1 Tbsp at a time.
