Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
Butter
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold
Flavorings
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 1 clove garlic, minced
Wet Ingredients
- 3/4 cup whole milk
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper to prepare for baking.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and baking powder to evenly distribute the leavening agent.
- 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 resembles coarse crumbs, ensuring a flaky texture.
- Add Cheese and Garlic: Gently fold in the finely grated Parmesan and minced garlic to evenly distribute these fragrant flavors throughout the mixture.
- Bind with Milk: Gradually pour in the whole milk while mixing gently just until a soft dough forms; be careful not to overwork the dough to keep the scones tender.
- 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. Arrange these wedges spaced evenly on the prepared baking tray.
- Bake to Finish: Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes until the scones turn golden brown and are fully cooked through. Remove and let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Use cold butter for better flakiness in the scones.
- Do not overmix the dough to prevent dense scones.
- These scones are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
- For a stronger garlic flavor, add an extra clove minced finely.
- You can substitute whole milk with buttermilk for a tangier taste.
