Preheat the oven to 180C/160C Fan/Gas 4. Line a baking tray with nonstick baking paper.
2
Beat together the yogurt, egg and 50g of the brown sugar and set aside.
3

4
Tip the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead until just smooth. Roll into a rectangle and cut into 8 squares.
5
Put the squares onto the tray, spaced evenly. Brush with 1tbsp of the milk.
6
Bake for 20-25 mins, until golden brown. Leave on the tray to cool.

For the glaze, put the remaining sugar, milk and the vanilla into a small pan. Heat gently on a low setting until the sugar has dissolved. Turn off the heat and leave to cool.
8
When the scones are cool, drizzle with the glaze and sprinkle on the pumpkin seeds. Serve with yogurt for spreading, plus blackberries on the side.
