Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder

Fat

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold

Cheese & Flavorings

  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated
  • 1 clove garlic, minced

Liquid

  • 3/4 cup whole milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and baking powder to evenly distribute the leavening agent.
  3. Incorporate Butter: Cut the cold unsalted butter into small cubes and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to rub it into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized pieces.
  4. Add Cheese and Garlic: Gently fold in the finely grated Parmesan cheese and the minced garlic, ensuring the flavors are evenly mixed throughout the flour and butter mixture.
  5. Bind with Milk: Slowly pour in the whole milk while stirring gently until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix to maintain tender scones.
  6. Shape and Prepare for Baking: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat it into a 1-inch thick disk. Cut the disk into 6 equal wedges and arrange them with some space between each wedge on the prepared baking tray.
  7. Bake to Finish: Place the baking tray in the preheated oven and bake the scones for about 20 minutes or until they are golden brown on top and fully cooked inside. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Use cold butter to ensure flaky scones; warm butter will make the dough greasy and less tender.
  • Do not overwork the dough to keep the scones light and fluffy.
  • You can substitute whole milk with buttermilk for a tangier flavor and softer texture.
  • Grate Parmesan cheese finely for even distribution and a better crumb texture.
  • Serve warm with butter or your favorite savory spread.
