Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and lemon zest.
  3. Add Smart Balance Light Buttery Spread and mix until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Fold in sugar and blueberries, mixing gently to avoid crushing the berries.
  5. Whisk the egg in a separate bowl, then add to the dry mixture and mix just until combined.
  6. Gradually mix in yogurt until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms.
  7. Shape the dough into a circle about 1 inch thick and score into 8 equal scones.
  8. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until golden brown and risen.
  9. Cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

For the best results, keep the dough slightly sticky and monitor baking time closely.
