Herb Scones
(recipe, Ronnie Fein)
Ingredients
- 2 cups flour
- 2 Tblsp. sugar
- 2¼ tsp. baking powder
- ¾ tsp. baking soda
- ½ tsp. salt
- ¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 Tblsp. fresh herbs, minced
- ⅓ cup unsalted butter
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup buttermilk
Steps
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Lightly grease a cookie sheet.
- Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cheese, and herbs in a bowl. Add the butter in chunks and work it into the dry ingredients with your fingers or a pastry tool, until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Mix the egg and buttermilk together and pour into the dry ingredients. Mix until a soft dough forms. Roll or press the dough on a lightly floured surface to a ½-inch thickness. Cut out circles with a cookie cutter. Or, alternatively, cut the dough in half, roll or press each half into a circle of ½-inch thickness; cut each circle into 6 wedges.
- Place unbaked scones on the prepared cookie sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until well browned.
