Calories: 219kcal
Ingredients
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoons salt
- ½ cup cold butter, cut into small cubes
- 4 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled
- ⅔ cup gruyere cheese, grated
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
- ½ cup buttermilk
- ¼ cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- In a large bowl sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Cut cold cubes of butter into the flour mixture until the butter is completely incorporated and the mixture has obtained a fine, mealy texture.
- Add the bacon, cheese, green onions, and black pepper and mix together until well combined.
- Fold in the buttermilk and mix together until just combined and the mixture has formed into a dough.
- Form the dough into a disc and place in fridge for about 30 minutes.
- Once chilled, flatten the disc to about ½ inch thick and cut the disc into circles using a 3 inch circle cutter (or a fluted cutter) and place the scones onto a parchment lined baking sheet.
- Brush tops of each scone with a small amount of cream and bake for about 20 to 25 minutes or until the scones puff up and the tops just start to brown.
- Serve warm with a side of honey butter.
