Bacon Cheddar Scones
Bacon cheddar scones are deliciously flakey and boldly flavorful. The savory scones are packed with diced bacon and pockets of melted cheddar cheese. The big, savory flavors of these cheesy bacon scones are a perfect match for breakfast, brunch, or soup.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon coarse salt
- ¼ cup scallions finely chopped
- 1 cup cheddar cheese grated thick
- 1 cup cooked bacon diced
- 1¼ cups heavy whipping cream plus more for brushing
Instructions
- Whisk the flour, baking powder, salt, and scallions in a large bowl. Fold in grated cheese and bacon bits.
- Add one cup of heavy cream to the dry ingredients and gently mix until the cream has been completely absorbed. Add in the remaining ¼ cup of heavy cream. Mix just until combined.
- Lightly knead the dough on a lightly floured surface. With lightly floured hands, form dough into a slightly flattened circle about 1 in thick.
- Using a bench scraper or knife, cut evenly into 8 triangles. Separate and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving space between them.
- Refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 400° F. Brush scones with heavy cream. Bake for 15-20 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through baking, until golden brown and firm. Remove from pan. Allow the scones to cool before eating.
