Time 40m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 ounces self-raising flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon mustard powder
1 ounce butter
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh chives, chopped
1 large egg, beaten
4 ounces smoked bacon
4 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, grated
3 tablespoons buttermilk
2 tablespoons milk

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 220°C.
  • Grill the bacon until starting to crisp. Cool and chop into small dice.
  • Sift the flour into a mixing bowl along with the mustard powder, baking powder and cayenne.
  • Using your hands rub the butter into the mixture until it's fully blended and it looks like fine breadcrumbs.
  • Stir in the bacon, 3 /4 of the cheddar and chives.
  • Mix the beaten egg with the buttermilk. Stir into the flour mixture until it's formed a smooth dough, but go lightly, otherwise the scones will be very heavy.
  • Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to 1 inch thickness. Cut into 6 circles with a 2 1/2 inch cutter.
  • Place scones on a greased baking sheet. Brush with milk and sprinkle over remaining cheddar.
  • Bake for 15 - 20 minutes.

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 c all purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp salt
2 Tbsp onion powder
1 Tbsp garlic powder
1 stick butter
1 1/2 c cheddar cheese, grated
1 c bacon, fried and chopped into bits
1 1/2 c buttermilk

Steps:

  • 1. Sift together dry ingredients. Cut in butter. Add cheese and bacon. Mix well. Stir in buttermilk until blended.
  • 2. Divide dough in half and flatten into about 1/2 inch thick round. Score each round into 8 pieces.
  • 3. Place on greased cookie sheet about 1 inch apart and bake at 400 degrees for about 20-25 mins. Serve warm or at room temp.

Tips:

  • Use cold butter for a flakier scone.
  • Grate the butter into the flour mixture to create small pockets of butter that will melt and create steam during baking, resulting in a light and airy scone.
  • Do not overwork the dough. Overworking the dough will make the scones tough.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the scones. A dull knife will tear the dough and make the scones uneven.
  • Bake the scones until they are golden brown. If the scones are not baked long enough, they will be doughy in the center.
  • Let the scones cool slightly before serving. This will allow the scones to firm up and make them easier to handle.

Conclusion:

Cheddar bacon buttermilk scones are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or snack. They are perfect for a crowd or for a quick and easy meal. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can enjoy these delicious scones at home.
