Directions

1. In a food processor or blender, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and butter until mixture resembles a coarse meal. Pea-sized pieces of butter should still be visible in mix.
2. Add flour mixture to a large mixing bowl. Stir in Parmesan, cheddar, garlic, pepper, and dried herbs.
3. Make a well in the center. Add buttermilk. Mix just enough to form doughball.
4. Roll to ½ inch thickness. Cut out scones with a knife or biscuit cutter and place on parchment-lined baking sheet.
5. Brush an egg wash over the tops if desired. Bake at 375°F for 20-25 min. or until an evenly light golden brown. Serve warm. Makes 12 large scones.
