Ingredients
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine Bisquick mix and 1/4 cup sugar.
- Stir together the egg, the yogurt, and melted butter.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir just until the dough clings together.
- Knead the dough gently on a floured surface for 8 to 10 strokes.
- Pat or roll the dough to form a 6-inch circle.
- Cut the dough into 10 wedges.
- Sprinkle each wedge with sugar.
- Place wedges on an ungreased baking sheet.
- Bake in a 425°F oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden.
- Serve the scones warm, optionally with jelly or preserves.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, try adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the wet ingredients. If you don't have peach or apple yogurt, any flavored yogurt can work as a substitute. You can also experiment with adding fresh or dried fruits like blueberries or cranberries for added texture. Knead the dough gently to avoid tough scones.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these peach yogurt scones warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a side of jelly or preserves for added sweetness. They pair beautifully with a cup of tea or coffee, making them perfect for breakfast or an afternoon snack. Consider serving alongside a light fruit salad for a refreshing contrast.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use whole wheat flour instead of Bisquick?
Yes, you can substitute whole wheat flour, but you may need to adjust the liquid slightly as it absorbs more moisture. Consider adding a touch more yogurt or milk to achieve the right consistency.
How can I make these scones healthier?
To make these scones healthier, you can reduce the sugar or replace it with a natural sweetener like honey or maple syrup. You can also use low-fat yogurt and replace butter with a healthier oil or unsweetened applesauce.
Can I make the dough ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the dough ahead of time and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours before baking. Just remember to let it sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before shaping and baking to ensure even cooking.
