Recipe Yield: 8 scones

INGREDIENTS

2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
½ cup cooked bacon, crumbled (about 6 slices)
1 ¼ cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
½ cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cubed
1 tbsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
¼ cup fresh chives, chopped
½ tsp garlic powder
¾ cup heavy cream, plus extra for brushing
1 large egg
1 tsp Dijon mustard

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat & Prep: Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper.

3. Cut in Butter: Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the cold butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

4. Add Fillings: Stir in shredded cheddar, crumbled bacon, and chopped chives.

5. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together heavy cream, egg, and Dijon mustard. Pour into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until a dough forms. If the dough feels too dry, add 1 extra tbsp of heavy cream.

6. Shape & Cut: Turn the dough onto a floured surface. Lightly knead 3-4 times, then shape into a 1-inch thick circle. Cut into 8 equal wedges.

7. Bake to Perfection: Place scones on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart. Brush tops with extra heavy cream for a golden finish. Bake for 20-22 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and crisp.

8. Cool & Serve: Let scones cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy warm with butter, or as is!


Helpful Tips to Perfect This Recipe

  • Keep Butter Cold: Cold butter ensures flaky layers—pop the butter in the freezer for 10 minutes before cutting it in.
  • Don’t Overwork the Dough: A light hand prevents tough scones. Mix until just combined!
  • Boost the Flavor: The touch of Dijon mustard enhances the savory balance without making it taste mustardy.
