175 g flour

1 tbsp caster sugar

1 tsp baking powder

¼ tsp bicarbonate of soda

¼ tsp salt

2 tbsp natural low-fat yogurt

1 spray low-fat cooking spray

1 tbsp hard margarine, melted and cooled

2 heaped tbsp flour, (to dust dough surface)

Preheat the oven to Gas mark 6/200°C/400°F. Spray a non-stick baking tray with low-fat cooking spray.

Sift 175g of the flour into a mixing bowl and stir in the sugar, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and salt. Beat together the yogurt, egg and melted margarine.

Make a well in the centre of the flour and add the yogurt mixture, mix gently to combine the dry and wet ingredients.
