Parmesan Scones

Parmesan Scones blend flour, butter, cream or yogurt, and two types of cheese—Parmesan and another cheese—for a savory bakery treat. The dough is gently kneaded, shaped into wedges, topped with an egg wash, grated Parmesan, and smoked paprika, then baked until golden and aromatic. These scones offer a light crumb with a cheesy, slightly smoky flavor.
