Description
Delicious scones with cheddar, bacon and fresh thyme. Scones don’t have to be sweet all the time ;)
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 3/4 cups (230g) all-purpose flour
- 1 1/4 tsp. baking powder
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/8 tsp. white pepper
- 1/4 cup (60g) cold butter
- 2.5 oz. (70g) cheddar cheese, grated
- 1.7 oz. (50g) bacon, diced finely
- 1–2 tsp. fresh thyme
- 1/2 cup (120ml) buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tsp. mustard
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with baking parchment and set aside.
- Mix the flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper in a large bowl until well combined. Add the butter in small pieces and cut with a pastry blender until you get pea-sized crumbs. Add the grated cheese (keep some for sprinkling the scones), bacon, and thyme and mix in. In a small bowl mix the buttermilk with the egg and mustard. Add to the large bowl and mix until just combined. Place the dough on a floured surface, dust with some additional flour if sticky and form a disc with a thickness of about 1.2 inches (3cm). Cut the disc into 6 equal slices like you would do with a pizza. Place the slices on the prepared baking sheet, sprinkle with the remaining cheese and bake for 12-14 minutes – they should have a nice golden color. Take out of the oven and let cool down on a wire rack.
Notes
- Enjoy baking!
