Buttery and savory.

Provided by janet

Time 45m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 cups all-purpose flour
1 ⅓ cups white sugar
2 tablespoons baking powder
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 ½ teaspoons salt
1 cup unsalted butter, cubed
1 ½ cups heavy cream
⅓ cup maple syrup
4 slices cooked bacon, chopped
2 cups powdered sugar
2 tablespoons maple syrup
2 tablespoons milk

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Combine flour, sugar, 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Add butter and cut in with your hands or a pastry blender until crumbly with all pieces of butter smaller than a small bean. (You can use a food processor.) Make a small well in the center of the mixture.
  • Pour cream, maple syrup, and chopped bacon into the well. Combine with your hands, working quickly so butter does not melt, until the dough sticks together. Divide dough into 12 equal portions. Roll and gently press each portion into a scone about the size of your palm; place on a baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until tops spring back when lightly touched, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and transfer to a wire rack.
  • Mix powdered sugar, maple syrup, and milk for glaze together in a bowl until smooth. Drizzle over scones.

Time 1h20m

Yield 16 scones

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 3/4 cups whole wheat flour
1 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1/4 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
10 tablespoons cold salted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 1/2 cups pitted chopped dates
12 ounces sliced bacon, cut into 1/2-inch wide pieces, cooked until crisp, drained and cooled
1 cup buttermilk
1/3 cup grade b pure maple syrup, plus
1 tablespoon grade b pure maple syrup
1 large egg
3 tablespoons demerara sugar (or other raw sugar)

Steps:

  • Position oven racks in the top third and center of the oven; preheat oven to 400°.
  • Line 2 large rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  • Scones--in a large bowl, whisk together the flours, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Using a pastry blender or your fingertips, cut in the butter until the mixture is crumbly with some pea-sized pieces of butter.
  • Add the dates and toss to coat with the flour mixture; repeat with the bacon.
  • Whisk the buttermilk and 1/3 cup of maple syrup together in a measuring cup.
  • Pour into the flour mixture and stir just until combined; do not overmix.
  • Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead a few times.
  • Roll out into a 1-inch thick round.
  • Using a 2 1/2 inch round cookie cutter, pressing firmly to cut through the dates, cut out scones as close together as possible to avoid excess scraps.
  • Arrange at least 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  • Gently press the scraps together, roll out again, and cut more scones.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and remaining 1 tablespoon maple syrup.
  • Brush the tops of the scones lightly with the egg mixture and sprinkle with the Demerara sugar.
  • Bake, switching the positions of the baking sheets from top to bottom and front to back halfway through baking, until the scones are golden brown, about 20 minutes.
  • Let cool on the pans for 10 minutes.
  • Serve warm.

MAPLE BACON SCONES

A breakfast treat that's sweet & savory.

Provided by S I

Categories     Other Breakfast

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 c all-purpose flour
1 Tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
3 Tbsp granulated sugar
1/2 c cold butter, cut in pats
1 large egg
1/2 c cold milk
1/2 tsp maple flavor
2 c diced cooked maple-cured bacon or ham, in 1/4
TOPPING
1 tsp maple syrup
1 Tbsp cream
2 Tbsp granulated sugar
additional maple syrup, to serve

Steps:

  • 1. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and granulated sugar. Add the butter, working it in till the mixture is crumbly.
  • 2. Whisk together the egg, milk, and maple flavor. Add this to the dry ingredients, along with the bacon or ham. Mix just till everything is evenly moistened.
  • 3. Transfer the dough to a piece of parchment or a lightly floured work surface. Pat and roll it into a 9" x 9" square, about 5/8" thick.
  • 4. Cut the dough into nine 3" squares. Then cut each square into two triangular wedges, to make a total of 18 scones.
  • 5. Place the scones on a lightly greased or parchment-lined baking sheet, and put them in the freezer for 30 minutes. While the scones are chilling, preheat your oven to 425°F.
  • 6. Combine the 1 tsp maple syrup with the cream. Brush the chilled scones with the cream mixture, and sprinkle with additional sugar, if desired. Bake the chilled scones for 18 to 20 minutes, or until they're a medium to deep-golden brown.
  • 7. Remove the scones from the oven, and cool them on a rack briefly. Serve warm with maple syrup.

Tips:

  • Prep the bacon beforehand: This can be done in the oven or in a skillet. Just make sure it's crispy before adding it to the scones.
  • Use cold butter: This will help create flaky layers in the scones.
  • Don't overmix the dough: A few lumps are okay - overmixing will result in tough scones.
  • Chill the dough before baking: This will help the scones rise properly.
  • Brush the scones with milk before baking: This will help them brown.
  • Serve warm: Scones are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven.

Conclusion:

These maple bacon scones are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast treat. With their sweet and savory flavor, they're sure to be a hit with everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a special breakfast or brunch recipe, give these scones a try. You won't be disappointed!
