Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 medium Yellow onion
• 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 large Egg
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a skillet over medium-low heat, melt the butter and add the thinly sliced yellow onion. Stir in the granulated sugar and cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft and caramelized. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley.

Step 5

In a small bowl, lightly beat the egg and mix it with the heavy cream.

Step 6

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients, including the cooled caramelized onions. Stir gently with a wooden spoon until the mixture just comes together. Do not overmix.

Step 7

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and press it into a rough circle about 1 inch thick.

Step 8

Using a sharp knife or a bench scraper, cut the dough into 8 equal wedges.

Step 9

Transfer the scones to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart. For extra golden-brown tops, brush a little heavy cream on each scone.

Step 10

Bake the scones for 20-22 minutes, or until golden and cooked through.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving warm.
