Line a baking sheet pan with parchment paper and preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, garlic, salt, and paprika. Stir well.
Use a pastry blender to cut the cold butter into the flour mixture.
Stir in the sharp cheddar cheese. Set aside for now.
In a separate mediums sized bowl, whisk together the egg, heavy cream, plain Greek yogurt, and honey.
Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients and mix until dough forms. Don’t overmix. I prefer to use my hands when mixing the dry ingredients in.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead 1 to 2 times to make sure any remaining flour is incorporated.
Roll the dough into a circle that is roughly one inch thick. Cut the dough into 8 triangles (similar to how you would cut a pizza).
Place each scone of the sheet pan previously prepared 2 inches apart and bake in the oven for 12-14 minutes until scones have a golden brown bottom.
In the meantime, combine the minced parsley with the melted salted butter.
Once the scones are done and removed from the oven, brush each scone with the butter and parsley mixture.
Plate and serve.
