Yield:  12 scones
Golden, moist and tender with a cakelike texture, these orange-raisin scones are the perfect excuse for a coffee or tea break.
RECIPE INGREDIENTS
2 cups  all-purpose flour
1/4 cup  sugar
1 teaspoon  baking powder
1 teaspoon  baking soda
1/2 teaspoon  salt
3/4 cup  coarsely chopped raisins or whole currants
1 tablespoon  butter
2 tablespoons  canola oil
1 cup  nonfat plain yogurt, plus extra for brushing scone tops
1   large egg
1 tablespoon  freshly grated orange zest
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 375°F. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.


Stir together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a mixing bowl. Add raisins (or currants), tossing to coat. Melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Cook, swirling the pan, until it turns a nutty brown, about 1 minute. Transfer the butter to a bowl. Add oil, 1 cup yogurt, egg and orange zest and whisk until blended. Add the yogurt mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring just until combined (the dough will be sticky).


Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet; with floured hands, pat it out into a 1/2-inch-thick circle. Cut the circle into 12 wedges, leaving them in place. Brush the top with yogurt. Bake until the top is golden and firm to the touch, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve warm.

Scones!
The first time I try a recipe I usually follow it carefully. But this was a little dry, which is to say that a lot of flour remained after the blending. I added 2-3 T. 2% milk. And I use parchment paper (which can be reused endlessly). I liked being able to do the final prep right on the cookie sheet ala paper, hadn't thought of that before. The flavor was good, not fantastic. Texture a little "off". Looking forward to 2nd attempt.
