Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
- 3/4 cup cooked turkey beef bacon, chopped
- 1/4 cup scallions, chopped
- 3/4 cup milk
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- Step 3: Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend it in until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Step 4: Stir in the shredded Cheddar cheese, chopped turkey turkey bacon, and scallions until evenly distributed.
- Step 5: Pour in the milk gradually while stirring until just combined. Do not overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky.
- Step 6: Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead it a few times. Pat it into a circle about 1 inch thick, then cut into wedges or use a biscuit cutter for round scones. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Step 7: Bake for approximately 15-20 minutes or until golden brown on top. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- For optimal freshness, store leftover scones in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
- To reheat, simply pop the scones in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-10 minutes until warmed through, which helps restore their crispy edges.
- These savory scones pair wonderfully with a dollop of cream cheese or a spread of herbed butter for added flavor at breakfast or brunch.
- For a delicious boost in flavor, consider using a mix of cheeses or adding some spices like garlic powder or smoked paprika to enhance the taste of your scones!
