Method

Preheat the oven to 200°C.

Rub the flour, salt, parmesan, sugar, baking powder, and butter together in a bowl until crumbly.

Mix in the dried cranberries and add milk gradually to form a dough.

Roll the dough on a floured surface to 1cm thickness.

Cut dough into 5cm rounds and place on a lined baking tray.

Brush the tops with milk and bake for 15 minutes until golden-brown.

Cool the scones on a wire rack.

Spread a layer of mascarpone on each scone and top with a basil leaf.

Pipe a mascarpone swirl over the basil and decorate with a reserved cranberry.
