Instructions
  1. Combine the flour and sugar in a medium bowl. Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and add the egg, melted margarine and a little of the milk. Gradually stir the flour into the liquids and add the remaining milk a little at a time, to make a fairly thick, smooth batter.
  2. Coat a large non-stick skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat. For each scone, drop a heaping tablespoon of batter onto the hot surface. When bubbles form on the surface of the scones, use a spatula to turn them and then cook until the underside is golden brown, about 1 minute.
  3. Remove the scones from the skillet and keep warm under a clean cloth. Cook the rest of the batter in the same way.
  4. Place the blueberries and raspberries in a bowl and lightly crush the fruit, leaving some berries whole. Serve the scones warm with the berries and vanilla yogurt.
