Bacon Cheese and Scallion Scones
From peetabear 16 years agoIngredients
- 2 cups (8 1/2 ounces) King Arthur Unbleached all-purpose flour or Mellow Pastry Blend shopping list
- 1 teaspoon salt shopping list
- 1 tablespoon baking powder shopping list
- 2 teaspoons sugar shopping list
- 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick, 2 ounces) cold butter shopping list
- 1 cup (4 ounces) very coarsely grated or diced cheddar cheese shopping list
- 1/3 cup (about ¾ ounce) snipped fresh chives, or finely diced scallion tops (the green part) shopping list
- 1/2 pound bacon, cooked, cooled, and crumbled (about 1 cup) shopping list
- 3/4 cup + 2 tablespoons (7 ounces) heavy cream, or enough to make the dough cohesive shopping list
How to make it
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. Lightly grease a baking sheet, or line it with parchment.
- 1) Whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder, and sugar.
- 2) Work the butter into the flour until the mixture is unevenly crumbly.
- 3) Mix in the cheese, chives, and bacon till evenly distributed.
- 4) Add ¾ cup of the cream, stirring to combine. Try squeezing the dough together; if it’s crumbly and won’t hang together, or if there are crumbs remaining in the bottom of the bowl, add cream until the dough comes together. Transfer the shaggy dough to a well-floured work surface.
- 5) Pat the dough into a smooth 7" disk about ¾" thick. Transfer the disk to the prepared baking sheet.
- 6) Use a knife or bench knife to cut the disk into 8 wedges, spreading the wedges apart a bit on the pan.
- 7) Brush the scones with a bit of cream; this will help their crust brown.
- 8) Bake the scones for 22 to 24 minutes, until they’re golden brown. Remove them from the oven, and cool right on the pan. Serve warm, or at room temperature.
- Yield: 8 large scones
