Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 cups flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons unsalted butter -- cold
1 1/2 oz cream cheese -- cold, (3 Tbsp)
3 strips bacon -- cooked and crumbled
1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese -- shredded
1 cup cream -- plus
1 tablespoon cream -- for brushing the tops, Notes: **
Cheddar Bacon Scones are studded with cheese and bacon for a savory
scone that is as perfect for a weekend breakfast as it is for an
afternoon coffee break.
Notes: **If using both butter and cream puts you over the edge, I
will accept whole milk or buttermilk as acceptable substitutions for the cream.
PREP: 20 minutes
COOK: 12 minutes
TOTAL: 32 minutes
MAKES: 8-9 2" SCONES
Preheat oven to 425F.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda
and salt. Cut the butter and cream cheese into pieces, and use a
pastry cutter to work the fat into the dry ingredients until the
butter and cream cheese are in pea size pieces.
Stir in the bacon and cheddar cheese. Stir in the cream until just combined.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead just
enough to bring the dough into a disk. Fold in half; pat the dough
back into a disk and fold in half again. This will help form some
layers in the finished scones.
Roll or pat the dough to 1/2" thick. Use a 2" cutter to cut out the
scones, placing them close together on an ungreased baking sheet and
re-rolling dough scraps as needed. Brush the tops lightly with
additional cream.
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown.
