Dry ingredients:
- 2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese grated
- 2 tablespoon fresh chives chopped, OR your favorite fresh herb(s)
Ingredients:
- 4 tablespoon unsalted butter cold, cut into cubes
- ¾ cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon water
For brushing on top:
- 1 tablespoon heavy whipping cream
Place oven rack to middle position and pre-heat oven to 425 degrees.
Whisk together all the dry ingredients.
Using a pastry blender cut-in the butter until it resembles coarse crumbs with some larger lumps.
Beat the egg with the heavy cream and water, and stir mixture into the dry ingredients. Remove dough to a floured work surface and knead a couple times until the dough comes together, about 10 seconds. Form into a ball.
Roll or pat dough out to a ½ inch thick circle. Cut into 8 wedges. Brush top with remaining tablespoon of cream. Separate wedges and place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until tops are lightly brown. Cool on a wire rack.
