Butterscotch And Bacon Scones Recipe

How to make it

---

• Combine flour, baking powder and salt in a large glass bowl.
• Mix well using a fork or your fingers :)
• Grate frozen butter into the flour mixture and using a COLD fork, cut into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs and will hold it's shape when "pressed" together.
• Add in bacon pieces and butterscotch chips and mix until just combined
• Make a well in center of mixture.
• Add the egg to the half and half and give it a lil whisk or beating to combine.
• Pour the egg mixture into the well and carefully mix with the flour to create a stiff dough. I suggest just using your hands and make sure you're gentle and don't over mix. The dough should be slightly sticky and come together into a ball.
• Drop the dough ball onto a prepared baking surface(a lightly floured baking pan, parchment lined baking pan or a baking stone-I use a baking stone. I don't flour it)
• Shape and flatten dough into about a 1-1/2 inch thick disk shape.
• Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter(I use a "rocking" style pizza cutter and it works great!), cut into 6 triangles.
• Using a thin spatula/flipper, carefully separate the triangles to leave about an inch between them.
• Brush tops with melted butter.
• Bake in a 350 oven for 15-20 minutes until cooked through and lightly browned on top.
• *you can certainly roll this dough for a smoother shape, if desire, we just like the rustic look and it's quicker and easier. :)
