Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 1/2 cup cooked turkey beef bacon, chopped
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup fresh chives, 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 mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Step 4: Stir in the chopped turkey beef bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped chives until evenly distributed.
- Step 5: Pour in the milk gradually, mixing until just combined. Do not overwork the dough; it should be slightly sticky.
- Step 6: Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently pat it into a circle about 1-inch thick. Cut into wedges or use a biscuit cutter to form rounds. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
- Step 7: Bake for about 15-20 minutes or until the scones are golden brown on top. Serve warm.
Notes
- For optimal freshness, store leftover scones in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
- To enjoy your scones warm again, simply reheat them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-10 minutes until heated through and slightly crisp.
- These savory scones pair wonderfully with a dollop of cream cheese or a light herb butter for an extra touch of flavor when serving.
- For best results, ensure your butter is very cold when mixing into the flour to achieve that flaky texture that makes scones so delightful!
