Best Cheddar And Bacon Buttermilk Scones Recipes

CHEDDAR AND BACON BUTTERMILK SCONES

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.

BACON-CHEDDAR CHEESE SCONES

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.
