Let your scones take a savory turn by adding chopped bacon, cheese and chives.
How to Make It
Step 1
Preheat oven to 450°. Stir together first 3 ingredients in a large bowl. Cut butter into flour mixture with a pastry blender until crumbly and mixture resembles small peas. Freeze 5 minutes. Add 3/4 cup plus 2 Tbsp. cream, cheese, bacon, chives, and pepper, stirring just until dry ingredients are moistened.
Step 2
Turn dough out onto wax paper; gently press or pat dough into a 7-inch round (mixture will be crumbly). Cut round into 8 wedges. Place wedges 2 inches apart on a lightly greased baking sheet. Brush tops of wedges with remaining 2 Tbsp. cream just until moistened.
Step 3
Bake at 450° for 13 to 15 minutes or until golden.

I agree with the comment of the previous reviewer - more of a buscuit... Can't really taste the bacon or the cheese...
Tomster's Review
Excellent. Used part heavy cream and part 1/2 and 1/2 because that's what I had. Nice flaky scones, almost more of a biscuit than a scone.
Fantastic!
