How to Make Bacon Egg And Cheddar Scones

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  3. Cut in 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese, 4 large eggs, 1/2 cup milk, and 1/4 cup chopped cooked bacon.
  5. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in 1/2 cup more shredded cheddar cheese and 1/4 cup more cooked bacon.
  7. Drop by rounded tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each scone.
  8. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  9. Let cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving. Enjoy immediately or freeze for later.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
