Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.
-
Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
-
Stir in the shredded provolone cheese, fresh parsley, and chives until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
-
Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the whole milk. Gently mix until the dough comes together; be careful not to overwork the dough.
-
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat it into a 1-inch thick circle.
-
Using a sharp knife, cut the dough into eight equal wedges.
-
Place the scones onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each one.
-
Brush the tops of the scones with the beaten egg wash for a golden finish.
-
Bake the scones in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
-
Remove the scones from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
