PREP TIME 18 MINS                 LEVEL MODERATE
INSTRUCTIONS

1 large egg(s)
175 g flour
1 tablespoon caster sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoon natural low-fat yogurt
1 spray low-fat cooking spray
1 tablespoon hard margarine, melted and cooled
2 heaped tablespoon flour, (to dust dough surface)

Preheat the oven to Gas mark 6/200°C/400°F. Spray a non-stick baking tray with low-fat cooking spray.

Sift 175g of the flour into a mixing bowl and stir in the sugar, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and salt. Beat together the yogurt, egg and melted margarine.

Make a well in the centre of the flour and add the yogurt mixture, mix gently to combine the dry and wet ingredients.

Lightly dust a clean work surface with the remaining flour and roll out the dough to 5mm (¼in) thick. With a sharp knife, cut the dough into 12 wedges and place on a non-stick baking sheet.

Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until well risen and golden brown. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes before serving

i did find making six of these for 3 points each is better!
Parmesan and Cheddar Scones Parmesan and Cheddar Scones

POINTS® value: 2.5
serves 10                                       cook time 12 mins
prep time 15 mins                             level easy
INSTRUCTIONS

225 g self raising flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
40 g polyunsaturated margarine
40 g cheddar cheese, grated
25 g parmesan cheese, finely grated
150 g natural low-fat yogurt
100 ml skimmed milk

Preheat oven to 200°C / 400°F / Gas Mark 6. Sift the flour, baking powder and salt into a large mixing bowl. Add the margarine and rub it in with your fingertips until the mixture looks like fine breadcrumbs.

Mix together the two cheeses and reserve 2 tablespoons for later. Stir the rest into the rubbed-in mixture.

Combine the yogurt and milk, then stir just enough into the scone mixture to make a soft, but not sticky dough. (There should be a little left). Draw the dough together with your hand, turn onto a surface sprinkled with a little flour and knead lightly for a few moments.

Roll out the dough to a thickness of 2.5cm (1 inch). Use a 5cm (2 inch) cutter to stamp out 7 rounds - avoid twisting the cutter as this prevents the scones from rising well. Re-roll trimmings to cut out 3 more rounds.

Place the scones on a baking sheet, brush with the remaining milk mixture and sprinkle with the reserved cheese. Bake for about 12 minutes until well-risen and golden brown. Transfer to a wire rack. Leave to cool slightly before serving.
NB. Vegetarians should use vegetarian parmesan
THE NEW WEETIBIX CAKE

Ingredients

4oz Flour
4oz Sultanas
teaspoon mixed spice
1 egg
2 weetabix
half pint cold tea (no milk or sugar)

Instructions


soak weetabix, spice and sultans in cold tea. Once liquid is absorbed, add egg and flour. Place in loaf tin sprayed with fry lite and bake on gas 4 for an hour and 15 minutes. Allow to cool and slice (you can put marg on - if u have any spare points!!)

Special Notes


This is an adaptation of a recipe with milk instead of tea. However, tea makes it darker and more like malt loaf. Points will need adjusting depending on size of tin, the whole cake is 12.5 points so you can work out accordingly!Enjoy! Don't feel obliged to buy expensive weetabix, supermarkets own brand work just as well and make it a very cheap treat! View High Resolution
