Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

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

Wet Ingredients

  • 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
  • 1 cup whole milk

Flavorings

  • 3/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions

  1. Make the Base: Measure the all-purpose flour and baking powder into a large mixing bowl. Add the cold butter cubes and use your fingertips to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs with some pea-sized bits for a flaky texture.
  2. Add the Flavor: Stir in the freshly grated Parmesan cheese and minced garlic, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the flour and butter mixture to infuse the scones with cheesy, garlicky flavor.
  3. Bring It Together: Pour the whole milk into the mixture and gently stir with a fork until a soft, shaggy dough forms. Be careful not to overwork the dough to keep the scones tender and light.
  4. Shape and Prep: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat it into a 1-inch thick circle. Using a sharp knife, cut the dough into classic wedge-shaped scones. Transfer the wedges onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
  5. Bake the Scones: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Bake the scones for about 20 minutes, or until the tops turn a rich golden color and the bottoms sound hollow when tapped. Allow the scones to cool slightly before serving to set their texture.

Notes

  • Use fresh baking powder for best rise and fluffy scones.
  • Keep butter cold to create flaky layers in the scones.
  • Do not overmix the dough to avoid tough scones.
  • Freshly grate Parmesan cheese for the best flavor.
  • Serve warm for optimal taste and texture.
