Scones are the special pastry that I treat myself to occasionally at Starbucks when I’m working. There is something about them. It’s like eating sweet bread that you don’t have to wait long for. They are the perfect compliment to coffee and tea.
I’ve never made scones before so I was surprised at how simple it was. This recipe makes 8 scones so they will make a great dish for our Easter breakfast.
Mix all your dry ingredients in a large bowl. In a medium bowl mix yogurt and egg together. Mix the wet ingredients into the dry then add chocolate and coconut until fully incorporated.
Knead the dough into a ball and press into a disk. Cut the dough with a pizza cutter and place onto prepared baking sheet 2 inches apart.
Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown along the edges. Remove from the baking sheet and cool on a cooling rack.
Enjoy this special treat!
