Savory Lemon Dill Parmesan Scones image

This is a savory, but not super-rich, scone recipe. I like the fact that I was able to whip these up with ingredients that I always have around the house. These are a nice addition to breakfast/brunch/lunch, as a side with dinner (poultry or fish would be a good companion), or for a snack. They're pretty good for entertaining if you want to make more than one batch at a time.

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

½ teaspoon lemon juice
½ cup soy milk
2 cups all-purpose flour
5 tablespoons lemon juice, divided
1 tablespoon white sugar
2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons dried dill
¾ teaspoon salt
½ cup chilled unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1 egg
1 egg, beaten
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Stir 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice into soy milk in a small bowl to make mock buttermilk. Let sit until curdled, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Mix flour, 3 tablespoons lemon juice, sugar, baking powder, dill, and salt together in a large bowl using a fork. Mix in butter with a pastry blender until dough starts to clump together.
  • Whisk mock buttermilk, remaining 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and egg together in a bowl. Pour over dough and mix gently with a fork just until incorporated.
  • Dust work surface lightly with flour. Turn out dough and pat into an 8-inch disc. Fold in half and gently flatten back out into a disc. Repeat folding and flattening the dough 3 more times, to build fluffy layers in the dough.
  • Transfer disc of dough to the baking sheet and brush with beaten egg. Cut into 8 wedges and pull wedges apart so they are not touching.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until lightly golden, about 10 minutes.
  • Remove scones from oven. Combine Parmesan cheese and black pepper together in a small bowl; sprinkle on top of the scones.
  • Return to the oven and bake until golden brown and edges look dry, about 10 minutes more.
