Warm the milk, yogurt and vanilla together in a pan for just over a minute.
3
Put the flour, salt and baking powder together in a bowl and mix well, then create a well in the middle of the bowl.
4
Add the cubed butter, and rub into the flour mix with your fingertips until it resembles breadcrumbs.
5
Pour the other mixture into the well in the middle, then work the mixture to form a smooth dough.

Tip the dough onto a work surface and roll out ready to be cut. Press out 4 scones with a cutter or use the top of a glass tumbler. The scones should be roughly 4cm (1½in) thick. Roll together the leftover dough and repeat until all the dough is used.
