Directions
Sift flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt together.
Using a pastry blender or your fingertips, work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse meal.
Separate one of the eggs.
Reserve the white.
Beat the egg yolk with a second egg until frothy.
Stir in the yogurt, then add to the flour mixture.
Work dough as little as possible to prevent toughening.
Stir until dough can be gathered into a compact ball.
Roll dough out to approximately 1/2-inch thickness.
Cut with a floured 2-inch biscuit or cookie cutter.
Beat the reserved egg white with a fork till frothy.
Brush the egg white on the top of each scone.
Bake the scones for 10 to 15 minutes, or until lightly browned.
