Slow Sunday mornings make me happy. I love having time on the weekend to potter around the kitchen in my PJs and bake. Especially when what I am baking is scones and there is coffee brewing to enjoy them with.
I made this batch of scones while I was staying with my parents. I can’t comment on how they keep, or what they are like cooled because they disappeared pretty fast. This recipe has less butter than most and is kept moist and sweet with yoghurt and apple sauce. It is also pretty forgiving so is a great one to try if your scones usually resemble something more akin to rocks.

I had my scones with a little margarine and a lot of jam. Yum!
