Serves 8Ready in 45 minutes
Ingredients
180g self raising flour
50g Smooth Vanilla Clean Lean Protein
1 tsp baking powder
Pinch of salt
1 tbsp poppy seeds
Zest of 1 lemon
120g greek yogurt
50g honey (or maple syrup)
30g unsalted butter, cold
50ml milk of choice, plus 1 tbsp for brushing
Topping (optional)
100g icing sugar
Juice of 1 lemon
Method
To a bowl, add the self raising flour, protein powder, baking powder, salt, poppy seeds and lemon zest, then stir to combine.
Make a well in the middle, add the yogurt and honey. Finely grate in the butter (this will make it easier to bring together) followed by the milk. Start to bring the mixture together with a fork, then use your hands to form a rough dough.
Line a large baking tray with parchment. Place the dough in the centre and using your hands, create a 1inch thick disc shape. Cut into 8 wedges, then brush the top with rest of the milk.
Bake for 30 minutes, until golden.
If using, mix together the icing sugar and lemon juice, then drizzle over the warm scones.
