How to Make Bacon Scones

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  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 small bowl, whisk together 1 large egg and 1/4 cup milk.
  5. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in 1/2 cup chopped onion, 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, and 2/3 cup cooked and crumbled bacon.
  7. Lightly grease a baking sheet.
  8. Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet and gently pat it into a 7 1/2-inch circle.
  9. Cut the circle into 8 wedges, but do not separate the wedges completely.
