Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
Wet Ingredients
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 3/4 cup whole milk
- Preheat the Oven: Set oven temperature to 425°F (220°C) and prepare a baking tray by lining it with parchment paper.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and baking powder to ensure even distribution.
- Incorporate Butter: Cut the cold unsalted butter into small cubes and rub it into the dry ingredients using your fingers or a pastry cutter until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs.
- Add Cheese and Garlic: Fold in the finely grated Parmesan cheese and minced garlic evenly so the flavors are well distributed throughout the mixture.
- Bind with Milk: Gradually pour in the whole milk and gently mix just until a soft dough forms. Take care not to overwork the dough to keep the scones tender.
- Shape and Prepare for Baking: Transfer the dough onto a floured surface, pat the dough into a 1-inch thick disk, then cut into 6 equal wedges. Place these wedges evenly spaced on the prepared baking tray.
- Bake to Finish: Bake the scones in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until they are golden brown and fully cooked through.
Notes
- Ensure the butter is very cold for a flaky texture.
- Do not overmix the dough to avoid tough scones.
- You can substitute whole milk with buttermilk for a slightly tangy flavor.
- Scones are best served warm, fresh out of the oven.
- Store leftover scones in an airtight container and reheat before serving.
