Parmesan Scones

These accidental cheese scones was so amazing and could be the best scones I’ve ever made. The Parmesan adds a little extra fat to this dough making it light and airy with a slight saltiness that offsets any sweet toppings like jam and cream.

Process

Step 1:

Sift the flour, salt, baking powder and sugar together into a mixing bowl.

Step 2:

Cut in the butter and grated Parmesan with a pastry cutter until the flour absorbs the fat and there are little flecks of butter throughout.

Step 3:

Mix the egg, yogurt and milk together in a small mixing bowl and then add this wet mixture, a little at a time, to the flour crumbs. Mix gently, trying to not overwork the dough.

Step 4:

Once the dough comes together, wrap in some plastic wrap and chill for 20 minutes.

Step 5:

While the dough is resting, preheat the oven to 170 °C.

Step 6:

Roll out the chilled dough and cut into desired shape, place on a baking tray and brush with a little milk.

Step 7:

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until golden and crisp.

Step 8:

Serve with jam & whipped cream or extra cheese.
