Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 1 tbsp Baking Powder
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tbsp Sugar
- 1/2 cup Chilled Unsalted Butter
- 1/4 cup Green Onions (Scallions)
- 1/4 cup Fresh Parsley
- 1 tbsp Fresh Thyme
- 1 tbsp Fresh Rosemary
- 1 cup Ricotta Cheese
- 1/4 cup Milk
- 1 Beaten Egg (for wash)
- Sea Salt, Black Pepper, Smoked Paprika to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
- Grate the chilled butter into the mix, stirring until the texture resembles coarse meal, about 1-2 minutes.
- Gently fold in the chopped scallions, fresh parsley, thyme, and rosemary.
- Add the ricotta cheese and milk to the mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Transfer the dough to a floured surface. Knead gently 2 to 3 times just to bring it together.
- Pat the dough into a 9-inch rectangle, then cut it into 12 equal pieces.
- Place the scone pieces on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Brush the tops with the beaten egg wash and sprinkle with sea salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and fragrant.
Notes
- Enjoy warm with a dollop of butter for an indulgent treat.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Experiment with different herbs and cheeses for variations.
- Ensure baking powder is fresh for optimal rise.
- Avoid overmixing the dough to maintain a tender texture.
