Ingredients

Scale

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set oven temperature to 425°F (220°C) and prepare a baking tray by lining it with parchment paper.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and baking powder to ensure even distribution.
  3. 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.
  4. Add Cheese and Garlic: Fold in the finely grated Parmesan cheese and minced garlic evenly so the flavors are well distributed throughout the mixture.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
