Ingredients
Scale
- 2.5 cups (310g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp (15g) baking powder
- 1/2 tsp (2g) salt
- 1/2 cup (110g) cold butter cut into cubes
- 3/4 cup (177ml) 2% milk
- 1 cup (120g) shredded cheddar cheese
- 6–8 slices bacon cooked and chopped
- 3 tbsp sliced green onion
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F and place the rack in the center.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Mix in the chopped bacon, cheddar cheese, and green onion until well combined.
- Create a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the milk.
- Gently stir the mixture with a wooden spoon until it comes together, adding more milk if needed.
- Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead gently with your hands. Roll the dough out to a half-inch thickness, fold it in half, and roll again.
- Using a round biscuit cutter, cut out scones and gather any scraps to repeat the process. Alternatively, roll the dough into a circle and cut it into wedges.
- Place the scones on a baking sheet prepared with non-stick spray, leaving space between each scone.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the scones are risen and golden brown.
