Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 ¼ cups flour, plus more for dusting
1 tablespoon sugar
½ teaspoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter
4 slices cooked bacon, roughly chopped
2 scallions, minced
¾ cup shredded sharp cheddar
1 egg
¾ cup half and half

Steps:

Heat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder. Use the large holes of a box grater to grate the butter into the flour mixture, tossing occasionally as you shred. Stir in the bacon, scallions, and cheese.
In another bowl, whisk together the egg and half and half. Combine the two mixtures and blend until the flour is moistened. Do not overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Pat it into a ½-inch-thick circle. Slice the round into 8 even wedges and transfer the scones to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.
Bake the scones until golden brown on the top and bottom, rotating the pan halfway through, about 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving.

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 1/2 cup(s) all purpose flour
4 tablespoon(s) baking powder
1/4 teaspoon(s) salt
1/2 cup(s) butter-cut into small pieces
1/2 cup(s) milk
1/2 cup(s) stout (like guinness)
1/2 cup(s) sour cream
1 pound(s) bacon-fried crisp & crumbled
2 cup(s) shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Steps:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Sift flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in butter. Stir in bacon and shredded cheddar. Mix milk and sour cream in a cup. Add stout. Mix liquid into flour mixture. Stir until just combined. Turn out onto a floured surface. With extra flour available for handling, press dough into a 1 inch thick and 6 inch wide rectangle. This may take repeating several times to use all of the dough. Cut the dough with a sharp knife into triangles. Place dough triangles on a parchment lined cookie sheet. Brush with egg wash made from one egg white and 1 TBSP water. Bake at 400 degrees for 10-15 minutes or until lightly brown. Remove from oven and cool.
