How to make PARMESAN SCONES:

• Sift the flour together with the salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
• Add the basil and mix.
• Add the butter and knead gently until you get a crumbly dough.
• Add the cheese and grated Parmesan.
• Stir again and finally add the yogurt together with the beaten egg.
• Mix until you get a homogeneous ball of dough.
• Heat the oven to 200 C degrees (390 F). Line a large baking tray with baking paper.
• Divide the dough into two pieces.
• Make two balls from the two pieces and place them on the baking paper at a distance.
• Flatten the balls slightly until they are 2-3cm (0.8-1.2 inch) high.
• Cut each ball into 8 triangles.
• Slightly divide the 8 triangles so that there is 1cm distance between them.
• Brush the triangles with beaten egg and sprinkle grated Parmesan and smoked paprika on top.
• Bake the scones until nicely browned, about 15-20 minutes.
• They are a real treat and send an enthralling aroma throughout the house!
