Categories     side-dish

Time 43m

Yield 16 scones

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 slices bacon, chopped
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 tablespoon sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 stick unsalted butter, cut into pieces
6 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, grated (about 1 1/2 cups)
1/2 cup thinly sliced green onions
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 cup heavy cream, plus 2 tablespoons

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • In a medium skillet, cook the bacon, stirring, until crisp, about 5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain well on paper towels. Into a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Cut in the butter, cheese, green onions, and pepper with a pastry blender or fork, and work just until it starts to form lumps and come together. Add the bacon. Add 1 cup of the cream and work just until it becomes a sticky dough, being careful not to overwork.
  • Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and pat until it comes together. Form into 2 large circles, about 7 inches in diameter and 3/4 inch thick and cut each into 8 wedges with a sharp knife. Transfer to baking sheet with a spatula, leaving 1/2-inch space between each wedge. Paint the tops of the wedges lightly with the remaining 2 tablespoons of cream and bake until golden brown, 22 to 23 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly on the baking sheet. Serve warm.

BACON, EGG AND CHEDDAR SCONES



Bacon, Egg and Cheddar Scones image

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.

Tips:

  • Use cold butter. This will help create flaky layers in your scones.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the scones tough.
  • Chill the dough before baking. This will help the scones rise evenly.
  • Bake the scones until they are golden brown. Overbaking will make the scones dry.
  • Serve the scones warm. Scones are best served warm, straight out of the oven.
