Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 1 cup Sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 0.5 cup Cooked bacon (crumbled)
- 0.25 cup Fresh chives (chopped)
- 0.75 cup Heavy cream (cold)
- 1 Egg (beaten, for egg wash)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
Add the cold, cubed butter into the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, and chopped chives until evenly distributed.
Gradually pour in the cold heavy cream and mix until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently bring it together into a disc about 1 inch thick.
Using a sharp knife or a bench scraper, cut the disc into 8 equal wedges.
Transfer the wedges to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
Brush the tops of the scones with the beaten egg to ensure a golden-brown finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove from the oven and allow the scones to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before serving warm.
