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.

These scones were a total failure. They didn't rise at all and were like hockey pucks.

These scones were a bit bland. I think I'll add some herbs or spices next time.

These scones were a bit too crumbly for my liking, but the flavor was great.

Disappointed. The scones didn't rise very well and were quite dense.

These scones are amazing! The perfect balance of savory and cheesy. I'll definitely be making these again.

The scones were a bit dry for my taste, but the flavor was spot-on. Next time I'll try adding a little extra butter or milk to the dough.
