I just made Annabel Langbein's recipe for scones using yoghurt. It said to preheat fan oven to 200, but I don't have a fan oven so just preheated my oven, popped them in and they are just flat, not like scones at all. What difference does a fan-bake oven make?

More even heat distribution.

They should've still risen in an ordinary oven. Scones have been made for many decades without having to be fan assisted. What was the raising agent?

kaddiew, I assume that the scones as made by stitchbird3 are Annabel's "Three Ingredient Cheese Scones" - simply self-raising flour, grated tasty cheese and Greek yoghurt. Have a look at:-
fan is usually about 20 degrees less than normal, but I would have thought more 180 degrees normal bake for scones.

I agree that the temperature for fan-baking is usually 20ºC lower than for conventional baking so if a recipe states 'fan-bake at 200ºC' then IMO the conventional bake temperature should be 220ºC. :-))

Did you over mix them by any chance?

I accidently bought 'lite' greek yoghurt, will that matter?
