Bacon Cheddar Scones
I had a bunch of cheese left over from a party we had over the weekend, and I wasn't sure what to do with it. We have been on a scone kick after making fresh blueberry scones last week, so I figured why not try a savory version. And thus, these scones were born. And then consumed...
Bacon Cheddar Scones
Yield: 8 scones
Ingredients:
2 cups all purpose flour
1 Tbsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
8 Tbsp butter, cold and diced into small pieces
1 large egg
1 cup cheddar cheese
2-6 strips of bacon, cooked, cooked, and diced
1/2 cup half & half
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Slowly add pieces of diced butter until the flour mixture looks crumbly.
3. Pour in the half & half and add the egg. Mix until the dough begins to come together. Then add cheese and bacon.
4. Remove the dough from the bowl, and place on a lightly floured surface. Flatten the dough into a disk, about the size of your hand, and use a sharp knife to cut into 8 pieces.
5. Place onto a lightly greased baking sheet and bake 17-20 minutes, or until they are lightly brown. Cook for a few minutes before eating.
Optional- Brush the baked scones with melted butter & garlic. Or add chives, green onions garlic or other herbs right into the dough.
