Parmesan Scones
Description
These Parmesan Scones combine flour, butter, cream or yogurt, along with grated cheese and Parmesan for a savory dough that is soft yet slightly crumbly. Basil and leavening agents such as baking soda and baking powder provide gentle lift, while half an egg in the dough enriches the texture. The dough is divided, shaped into balls, flattened into discs, then cut into triangular wedges arranged with small gaps to allow even baking.
Each scone wedge is brushed with an egg yolk and milk wash, then sprinkled with additional grated Parmesan and smoked paprika to add a touch of smoky aroma and color to the crust. Baking at 200°C (about 390°F) for 15-20 minutes yields scones with a golden-brown exterior and a moist, tender crumb inside, making for a satisfying snack or accompaniment.
The balance of cheese types and herbs ensures a rich but not overpowering flavor. These scones can be served warm for breakfast, tea time, or as a savory side to soups and salads.
