Ingredients

• 3 cups flour
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 2-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 6 tablespoons cold butter
• 1 cup (8 ounces) vanilla yogurt

Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and baking soda. Cut in butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Combine yogurt and 1/4 cup milk; stir into crumb mixture just until moistened. Knead in the cherries and chips.

On a greased baking sheet, pat the dough into a 9 inch circle. Cut into eight wedges; separate wedges. Brush with remaining milk.

Bake at 400 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown.

Serve warm.

Can substitute dried blueberries for the cherries.
