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: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour and 1 tablespoon of baking powder thoroughly, ensuring the leavening agent is evenly distributed.
  3. Incorporate Butter: Cut 1/4 cup of cold, unsalted butter into small cubes, then rub it into the flour mixture using your fingertips until it resembles coarse crumbs; this helps create a flaky texture.
  4. Add Cheese and Garlic: Fold in 1/2 cup of finely grated Parmesan cheese and 1 minced garlic clove evenly throughout the flour and butter mixture, distributing the savory flavors.
  5. Bind with Milk: Gradually pour in 3/4 cup of whole milk while stirring gently, just until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix to keep the scones light and tender.
  6. Shape and Prepare for Baking: Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and pat it into a disk approximately 1 inch thick. Cut the disk into 6 equal wedges and arrange them spaced evenly on the prepared baking tray.
  7. Bake to Finish: Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake the scones for 20 minutes, or until they turn golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure the butter is cold to achieve the desired flaky texture in the scones.
  • Do not overwork the dough to keep the scones tender and light.
  • You can substitute whole milk with buttermilk for a tangier flavor and slightly softer texture.
  • Serve warm with butter or your favorite savory spread for best taste.
