directions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • In food processor fitted with steel blade, combine flour, baking powder, salt and Parmesan, and pulse 3 times or until blended.
  • Add cubed butter to dry mixture.
  • Run processor for 45 seconds, until butter is blended with dry ingredients (you can also stir dry ingredients together in a large bowl, then cut butter into dry mixture with 2 knives used scissor-fashion).
  • Transfer to a medium mixing bowl.
  • Combine egg and milk in a small bowl, and pour into the flour mixture all at once.
  • Mix gently with a fork until dough sticks together; it will be rather wet.
  • Turn dough onto floured board and, with floured hands, knead gently 3 times, until dough holds together.
  • Dough will still be moist, pat out to a circle that is half an inch thick.
  • Cut into scones on an ungreased baking sheet, brush the tops with 2 T melted butter and sprinkle each with a pinch or two of Parmesan. (Reroll any leftover dough).
  • Bake 11-13 minutes, until golden brown.
  • Serve warm with butter.

  1. Mine turned out beautifully light and fluffy. Not sure what one of the previous reviewers did to the recipe to end up with biscuits?
     
  2. Disappointing. They're more like biscuits than scones.
     
  3. My scones were not as pretty as the posted photos but they sure did taste good. Very light, tender and flaky! The dough was not wet like the instructions said it would be so I think I over kneaded or added to much flour to the board. Didnt have whole milk so I substituted heavy cream. A nice change from bread!
     
  4. Delightful! Light and flavorful, easy to put together. Thanks for sharing!
     
  5. These scones are outstanding! They are flaky, tender and buttery. I love the addition of parmesan cheese in the dough and on top of the each scone as they bake. These were so quick to put together and everyone in my family enjoyed them as part of their dinner. Mine took 16 minutes to bake in a preheated 400 degree oven. Thanks for posting this recipe, Lainey!

Tweaks

  1. These are GREAT. They are light, flakey, buttery biscuits. I had to use soy milk in place of the whole milk and it worked very well! I also made two rounds out of the dough and cut them into 6 pieces each. They were GONE in no time even though there was only three of us! These would work in place of biscuits for biscuits and gravy! Yummy!
