Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

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

Butter

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold

Add-ins

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

Liquid

  • 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 prevent sticking.
  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 then rub it into the flour mixture using your fingers or a pastry cutter until the texture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Add Cheese and Garlic: Fold in the finely grated Parmesan cheese and minced garlic, making sure they are evenly dispersed throughout the dry mixture.
  5. Bind with Milk: Slowly pour in the whole milk, mixing gently with a spoon or spatula just until a soft dough forms. Avoid overmixing to keep the scones tender.
  6. Shape and Prepare for Baking: Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and pat it into a 1-inch thick disk. Cut the disk into 6 equal wedges and arrange them spaced out on the prepared baking tray.
  7. Bake to Finish: Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes or until the scones are golden brown on top and cooked through in the center. Remove and let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Use cold butter to ensure flaky scones.
  • Do not overmix the dough to avoid tough scones.
  • Change up the cheese with cheddar or asiago for different flavors.
  • Serve warm with butter or alongside soups and salads.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat before serving.
