Easy Parmesan Scones Recipe
Parmesan scones are, as the name implies, scones filled and topped with parmesan.
These scones use more butter and baking powder (and/or baking soda) as the raising agent rather than yeast. They are extremely quick to make; you can have the tastiest and softest scones on the table in half an hour.
The flavors we can enrich them with are diverse, because they can be made in both sweet and salty versions. Add whatever spices you like and you can have an endless variety of scones.
These scones are made with Parmesan and basil; extraordinarily good, soft, and aromatic. Parmesan and basil are known to combine well, and these scones only emphasize that.
Next to a cup of yogurt they are perfect, but they also go with a generous layer of butter, cheese, or melted cheese. Enjoy!
