METHOD

Blitz oats lightly to a fine-breadcrumb consistency.

Place oats, flour, baking powder, salt and sugar in a large bowl.

Add butter to dry ingredients and rub in using your hands until mixture resembles breadcrumbs.

Combine egg, yoghurt and vanilla in a bowl.

Pour wet ingredients into flour mixture and, using a palette knife, combine ingredients in a cutting motion until a dough forms.

Gently fold in strawberries.

Preheat oven to 170°C.

Roll the dough out on a floured surface to a thickness of about 10cm.

Using a round cutter, cut out scones from dough, making sure not to waste any dough.

Bake on a greased and lined baking tray for about 20-30 minutes, or until a skewer inserted comes out clean.

Serve scones with whipped cream and your favourite jam.
