Cranberry Apple Scones

You may have noticed the Noosa spoon decoder game on Twitter and Facebook. The object, is to use the back on your spoon to reflect the message! Grab a spoon and tell me what this says:

Now, that you’re all excited about the Noosa honey flavored yoghurt, It is time to get excited about their cranberry apple flavor!

I knew I had to use Noosa Yoghurt Cranberry Apple flavor in a baked treat! The flavor is tart, sweet, smooth and rich.

I set out to make scones..

But, scones are one of the few baked goods I have trouble with. They’re usually dry and require a great helping of butter and a dunk into tea. I had to change that! I did my research and found that many use yogurt in their scones for extra moisture!

And so my Cranberry Apple Scones were born 🙂

I also recommend spreading some more Noosa Yoghurt on the top of your scone, like so:
