Bacon Cheddar Scones
Need an on-the-go GF breakfast option or midday snack? These baked Bacon Cheddar Scones are fast, easy, and scrumptious with real bacon and shredded cheese, suspended in a flavorful, tender scone!
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup cooked and chopped bacon
- 2 cups 1:1 all-purpose gluten-free flour blend (with xanthan gum)
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tsp sugar
- 1/2 stick butter, cold
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
- Cook your bacon in a heavy-bottomed pan or skillet until crispy. Drain excess oil by placing on a paper towel and set it aside.
- To a bowl, add the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Whisk to combine. Also add the butter and mash it into the flour with a fork or your fingers until its broken into uneven pieces. Then, add the bacon and cheese to the dry ingredients.
- Using a fork, slowly pour the cream into the dry ingredients until most of the flour is mixed in, with some dry spots.
- Dump the mixture out onto the lined baking sheet. Form the scone dough into one large circle, about 1-inch tall.
- Using a knife or bench scraper, cut the circle into 8 pie-shaped slices. Spread them out on the parchment so that they have an inch of space between the scones.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until browned. Allow the scones to cool at least 10 minutes before serving. To store, place in an airtight container in the fridge. Heat gently in the microwave for 10 seconds as desired.
