Low-fat cooking spray
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C, Gas Mark 7). Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.
In a large bowl combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a small bowl combine yogurt, egg, and margarine. Add yogurt mixture to flour mixture stirring until just blended. Do not over mix.
Lightly flour a work surface and rolling pin. Roll out dough to 6mm (1/4") thickness. With a sharp knife cut into 12 wedges and place on baking sheet. Reduce oven temperature to 400°F (200°C, Gas Mark 6) and bake until golden brown, 12-15 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes.
Poster's Notes:
Serve these scones warmed; in keeping with tradition, split and filled with raspberries, alongside a cup of Earl Grey tea. Or accompany them with fresh fruit salad.

I thought I would pass along this recipe for traditional scones from the U.K. Weight Watchers web site. My guess is that these aren't as yummy, but I could eat these and still be able to eat another meal that day. I haven't made this recipe yet, so I can't comment on the quality of the scone (How does Martha eat all the stuff she makes and not look like one of the two fat ladies?).
