Low Fat Strawberry Yogurt Scones

This week I’m sharing another recipe for scones.  Early in July, we had gone Strawberry Picking at Organics Family Farm.  We haven’t gone for the last couple of years because their strawberry picking season was during Ramadan.  We were very excited to be able to go this year.  We brought home a lot of strawberries and I used some of them to make these Strawberry Scones.  One of our favourite things about Organics Family Farm is the wood fired pizza they serve at lunch time.

Typically scones have a lot of butter.  For these scones, I have used oil and not a lot of it.  These are very simple to make.  I love to switch up the fruit in these scones to make different varieties.
