Parmesan cheddar scones smell like Doritos

Since the cheddar scones worked out so well last time, I decided to experiment a bit. I looked at the ingredients for Doritos to see what kind of cheese they use and saw parmesan, cheddar and romano. In the list near the top was MSG.

I thought to myself, what if I added some dry aged parmesan to the scones, would it taste like Doritos? Now I know the answer, YES it smells like Doritos. Here is my recipe

2 cups all purpose flour
2 tbsp sugar
1/2 cup grated dry parmesan - use good stuff, not the pre-grated powder
1/2 cup cheddar
3 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1/2 cup milk or lactaid
8 tbsp cold butter

Preheat oven at 425F

Start by combining flour, sugar, salt and baking powder. Cut the cold butter into slices and combine with the flour. Mix it until it looks like bread crumbs, don't over work it. Add the milk and form a dough. Knead it for 1 min and then divide into 12-15 pieces. I like smaller scones, so I divided them into 4"x4" squares. If you like big scones, divide them into 10-12 pieces.

Bake for 14 min. Take it out and let it cool for 10min. It also tastes like Doritos
