9 steps · 45 min total

1. 01

   Preheat Oven, Prep Sheet

   Preheat your oven to 400°F. Lightly grease a baking sheet and set it aside.
2. 02

   Combine Dry Ingredients

   In a large bowl or food processor, combine the 1 cup flour, 1 cup Parmesan cheese, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon oregano, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
3. 03

   Cut in Butter

   Add the 1/2 cup cold butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry blender, two knives, or pulse in a food processor to cut the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

   If you used a food processor, transfer the mixture to a large bowl now.

4. 04

   Add Wet Ingredients, Onion

   In a small bowl, whisk together the 1/2 cup milk, 2 large eggs, and 3/4 teaspoon Tabasco sauce until well blended.

   Pour the wet mixture into the flour and butter mixture, stirring just until everything is moistened. Stir in the 3/4 cup finely diced onion. The dough will be quite sticky.

5. 05

   Shape Dough

   Transfer the sticky dough to the center of your prepared baking sheet. Pat it gently into a 9-inch circle.
6. 06

   Cut Into Wedges

   Using a sharp knife or a bench scraper, cut the dough circle into 8 equal wedges, like a pizza.
7. 07

   Bake Scones

   Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and a wooden pick inserted into the center of a wedge comes out clean.
8. 08

   Cool Scones

   Carefully remove the scones from the baking sheet and transfer them to a wire rack to cool for at least 10 minutes.
9. 09

   Serve

   Serve the scones warm, or let them cool completely before storing.
