Mini Parmesan Scones Recipe

Cooking Directions

• STEP 1.Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• STEP 2.In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and Parmesan cheese.
• STEP 3.Add the cold butter to the flour mixture and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to cut it into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
• STEP 4.In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg and milk. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
• STEP 5.Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times to bring it together.
• STEP 6.Roll the dough out to a 1/2-inch (1.25 cm) thickness and use a small round cookie cutter to cut out mini scones.
• STEP 7.Place the scones onto the prepared baking sheet and brush the tops with a little milk or beaten egg for a golden finish.
• STEP 8.Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and cooked through.
• STEP 9.Remove from the oven and allow the scones to cool slightly before serving.

Cooking Tips

• Make sure the butter is cold and cut into small pieces for the best texture.
• Do not overmix the dough, as this can result in tough scones.
• Feel free to add some herbs or spices to the dough for extra flavor, such as dried thyme or garlic powder.

Storage and Serving

• These mini Parmesan scones are best served warm from the oven.
• If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
• To reheat, place the scones in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for a few minutes until warmed through.
