How to Make Apple Smoked Bacon And Cheddar Scones
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
- Cut in 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, using a pastry blender or your fingers, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in 1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese.
- In a separate bowl, gently combine 1/2 cup chopped applewood smoked bacon, 1/4 cup chopped green onions, and 3/4 cup buttermilk.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir gently just until combined. Do not overmix.
- If the dough is too dry, add remaining buttermilk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until it forms a soft dough.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat into a 1-inch thick circle.
- Cut the dough into 8-10 wedges.
- Whisk together 1 large egg and 1 tbsp water in a small bowl. Brush the egg wash over each scone.
- Place scones on an ungreased baking sheet.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
