mixing bowl. Insert flat mixing paddle. Stir on
speed 1 for 15 to 20 seconds. Add butter and mix until
flour mixture is slightly crumbly, about 1 minute. Add
yogurt/egg mixture and mix on speed 1 for 30 to 40
seconds. Scrape the bowl and paddle, and mix until just
blended on speed 1. Do not over-mix. Dough will be
soft and slightly sticky.
Turn out onto lightly floured surface. This dough will be
somewhat sticky. Knead with floured hands 4 times.
(Flatten, fold, repeat 4 times.) Divide into 2 equal parts;
flatten into two 5- to 6-inch (13 - 15 cm) rounds. Use a
serrated knife or pizza cutter to cut each into 4 wedges.
Arrange on prepared baking sheet, with the wedges
about 1 inch (2.5 cm) apart. Brush with egg white. Mix
the tablespoon (15 ml) of sugar with the cinnamon and
sprinkle on wedges.
Bake for 20 minutes in preheated 400°F (200°C) oven.
Cool on a wire rack 5 minutes before serving.
