Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 3/4 cup whole milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper to prepare for baking.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and baking powder until evenly mixed.
  3. Incorporate Butter: Cut the cold unsalted butter into small cubes and rub or cut it into the flour mixture until the texture resembles coarse crumbs, ensuring a flaky scone texture.
  4. Add Cheese and Garlic: Fold in the finely grated Parmesan cheese and minced garlic evenly throughout the dry mixture to distribute the flavor.
  5. Bind with Milk: Gradually pour in the whole milk, mixing gently just until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overwork the dough to prevent tough scones.
  6. Shape and Prepare for Baking: Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface, pat it into a 1-inch thick disk, then cut into 6 equal wedges. Place the wedges on the prepared baking tray with some space between them.
  7. Bake to Finish: Bake the scones in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until they turn golden brown and are cooked through. Remove and let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Use cold butter for the best flaky texture.
  • Do not overmix the dough to keep the scones tender and light.
  • Freshly grated Parmesan provides better flavor than pre-grated.
  • Serve warm for the best taste experience.
  • Optional: Brush scones with melted butter after baking for extra richness.
