Ingredients
1 1/2 cup white self-raising flour
1 1/2 cup wholemeal self-raising flour
1/4 tsp salt
2 tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon
50g margarine
Approximately 1 cup low-fat milk
2 tbsp low-fat plain yoghurt
3/4 cup dates, chopped
1 medium apple, finely grated
Method
Preheat oven to 200 C fan forced. Sift flour and salt into a bowl, add sugar and cinnamon.
Add margarine and rub in using fingertips until the mixture resembles fine bread crumbs.
Mix yoghurt with the milk and add to a well in the middle of the flour mixture; mix quickly with a knife to form soft dough.
Add dates and grated apple, fold in to combine. Turn onto a floured board or bench and knead lightly.
Press out to form a square or rectangle about 1-1 1/2 centimetres thick, cut into even sized squares. Place onto a baking tray that has been light dusted with flour. Brush the tops with extra milk and bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
Makes 16 medium scones.
