Sometimes I see a recipe online and I know I just have to make it! I go to my shopping list and add any ingredients I need so I can make it in the very near future.

Bacon and cheddar is a great combination. When I first saw this recipe at Fifteen Spatulas,  it reminds me of a bacon egg and cheese biscuit – without the egg. I had never made scones before but it looked delicious! It wasn’t that difficult and it was scrumptious!

I can’t wait to eat the leftovers – although I am sure they taste best out of the oven. Our whole family loved these!

Cheddar Bacon Scones

• 6 – 7 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
• 2 cups all purpose flour 
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1 cup cheddar cheese, grated
• 2 tablespoons scallions, chopped
• 5 tbsp butter, grated
• 2/3 cup heavy cream + 2 Tablespoons

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 400*. Lightly grease a cookie sheet and set aside.
2. In a large bowl add the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, cheese, bacon, and onions.
3. Grate the butter and mix it into the dry mixture until crumbly. (I just use my hands to mix it.)
4. Make a well in the middle and add the heavy cream. Start with 2/3 cups and add more if necessary.  You want it to just be moist and you do not want to over mix it.
5. Move it from the bowl to the cookie sheet and form it into a circle. Cut it into 8 triangles.
6. Cook for 25 minutes until edges are brown and crispy.

It’s really not that difficult. I was able to prepare it in about 15 minutes and that included microwaving the bacon. Do you have a favorite scone recipe? Im hooked! I love how these tasted!
