These mini Parmesan scones are the perfect savory snack or accompaniment to a meal. With a buttery and flaky texture, these scones are packed with flavor from the Parmesan cheese. They are easy to make and are great for brunch, a party, or just a tasty treat.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • Additional Parmesan cheese for topping

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, Parmesan cheese, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Add the cold butter cubes to the flour mixture and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Slowly pour in the milk while stirring with a fork until the dough comes together.
  5. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead a few times until it is smooth.
  6. Roll out the dough to 1/2 inch thickness and use a small cookie cutter to cut out mini scones.
  7. Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet, brush the tops with the beaten egg, and sprinkle with additional Parmesan cheese.
  8. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown.
  9. Serve warm and enjoy!
