Equipment

Cast iron skillet
Mixing bowl
Knife
Spatula

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup cold unsalted butter cubed
1 cup grated parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons fresh sage finely chopped
3/4 cup milk

Instructions

Mix flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Rub in butter with fingertips until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in parmesan and chopped sage. Add milk and mix until just combined—do not overwork.
Turn dough onto a floured surface, pat to 1-inch thickness. Cut into 8 triangles or rounds.
Place scones in a greased cast iron skillet. Bake over campfire with lid or foil tent for 14-16 minutes, rotating for even heat, until golden and set.
Cool slightly before serving.

Notes

Use a lid or foil to create oven-like conditions over the campfire. Rotate skillet for even baking. Scones are best fresh but can be made ahead for trail snacks.
