How to Make Parmesan And Basil Scones

  1. Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cut 50g cold unsalted butter into 250g all-purpose flour using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Stir in 100g grated Parmesan cheese, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp baking soda, 1/4 tsp dry mustard powder, and 2 tbsp chopped fresh basil. Mix well.
  4. Gradually add 120ml milk, mixing gently until a soft dough forms. Add more milk (up to an additional 60ml) as needed to bring the dough together into a ball.
  5. Gently turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll into a 1.5cm thick square.
  6. Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the dough into nine equal scones (three horizontal and three vertical cuts).
  7. Place the scones onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
