- In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and baking powder.
- Cut the cold butter into small cubes and add it to the flour mixture. Use your fingers to rub the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Fold in the grated Parmesan and minced garlic until evenly distributed.
- Gradually pour in the milk and mix until a soft dough forms, being careful not to overwork it.
- Transfer the dough onto a floured surface, pat into a 1-inch thick disk and cut into 6 equal wedges.

To enhance the scones, chill the butter before mixing, consider adding fresh herbs, and avoid overmixing to keep them tender.
