I always make the mistake of adding all the yogurt at once. Instead, make sure to put in small amounts until the batter looks to be the right consistency. When I do add too much yogurt, I compensate by adding more our. These scones freeze very well. I like to take several out of the freezer, place them in a paper towel, and microwave them on high for 30 seconds.
