Provided by Joy Howard

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 ¼ cups flour, plus more for dusting
1 tablespoon sugar
½ teaspoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter
4 slices cooked bacon, roughly chopped
2 scallions, minced
¾ cup shredded sharp cheddar
1 egg
¾ cup half and half

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder. Use the large holes of a box grater to grate the butter into the flour mixture, tossing occasionally as you shred. Stir in the bacon, scallions, and cheese.
  • In another bowl, whisk together the egg and half and half. Combine the two mixtures and blend until the flour is moistened. Do not overmix.
  • Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Pat it into a ½-inch-thick circle. Slice the round into 8 even wedges and transfer the scones to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.
  • Bake the scones until golden brown on the top and bottom, rotating the pan halfway through, about 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving.

Time 30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 cups self-rising flour, plus more for work surface
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon cracked black pepper
1/2 cup cold butter
1 1/2 cups grated sharp Cheddar
4 green onions, thinly sliced

1 1/4 cups buttermilk
1 large egg, for egg wash
1 tablespoon coarse sea salt

Steps:

Add the cheese, green onion and crumbled bacon. Mix until evenly distributed. Add the buttermilk and mix with a wooden spoon until the mixture forms a stiff dough.
  • Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. With a rolling pin, roll the dough into a rectangle a 1/2-inch thick. Cut wedges of dough out to preferred scone size and arrange on a half sheet tray lined with parchment paper.

BACON, EGG AND CHEDDAR SCONES

This wonderful recipe is from The Cheese Lover's Cookbook and Guide by Paula Lambert, adapted slightly cause I want MORE of everything. These scones also freeze beautifully (fully-baked). I individually wrap in double-foil and then breakfast is ready for me when I don't have time to make it.

Time 32m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold
3 large eggs
3/4 cup heavy cream
8 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded
3 large eggs, lightly scrambled and broken up into pieces about 1 inch square
6 slices bacon, partially cooked and cut into 1/2 inch-wide strips (you could also sub in ham, just add in amount that suits you)

Steps:

  • Note before you get started: Shredding or cubing the cheese depends on personal preference; the shredded blends into the pastry, but the cubed leaves little chunks of cheese throughout. I'm a Libra, so I do both. (shred half and cube half ,-)
  • Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). Lightly butter a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
  • Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt together. Place in either a medium bowl or the work bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade. Cut the butter into the flour so that it is completely incorporated, using two knives, a pastry blender, your hands, or food processor until incorporated.
  • Beat 2 of the raw eggs and the cream together and add to the dry ingredients. Mix or process just to incorporate the eggs into the flour and butter; do not overmix. Dump the flour-and-butter mixture into a clean bowl.
  • Fold the cheese, scrambled eggs, and bacon into the flour mixture. It will be sticky and chunky. Stir and knead the dough as little as possible while distributing the cheese, scrambled eggs, and bacon throughout.
  • Transfer the dough to a well-floured work surface. Pat the dough into a rectangle about 12 x 4 x 3/4 inch high. Cut the dough into three 4-inch squares. Cut the squares on the diagonal to form six triangles. Place the scones at least 1 inch apart on the baking sheet.
  • Beat the remaining 1 egg with 2 tablespoons water and use this wash to brush the tops of the scones.
  • Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove and serve warm.

Time 1h

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 cups cake flour
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
2/3 teaspoon salt
1/3 teaspoon baking soda
1 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and diced
1/3 cup heavy cream, plus more to brush on scones
1/3 cup crème fraîche
1/2 cup bacon, cooked and diced
1 1/4 cups white cheddar, grated, plus more for the top
1/4 cup Chives, minced
black pepper

Steps:

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, add both flours, sugar, baking soda, and baking powder; mix on low speed to combine. Add butter, a little at a time, followed by salt. Continue to mix until the mixture has a "sandy" texture, about 5 minutes. Add heavy cream and crème fraîche, followed by the cheese, bacon, and chives. Continue mixing until just combined.
  • Place dough on a cutting board and wrap in plastic. Using a rolling pin, shape into a rectangle (about 7x9-inches) and chill for 20 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 325 F. Once dough is chilled, cut it into rectangles and place on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush tops with heavy cream and add more cheese. Finish with freshly grated black pepper. Bake for 20 minutes.
  • Scones are done when golden brown and the cheese is melted.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the scones will be.
  • Make sure the butter is cold and cubed. This will help to create a flaky texture.
  • Don't overwork the dough. Overworking will make the scones tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the scones to hold their shape.
  • Bake the scones in a hot oven. This will help to create a crispy exterior and a fluffy interior.

Conclusion:

These bangin' bacon and cheddar scones are the perfect breakfast, brunch, or snack. They're easy to make and absolutely delicious. With a few simple tips, you can make sure your scones turn out perfect every time. So what are you waiting for? Give this recipe a try today!
