Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 1 cup Sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)
• 0.5 cup Cooked bacon (crumbled)
• 0.25 cup Fresh chives (chopped)
• 0.75 cup Heavy cream (cold)
• 1 Egg (beaten, for egg wash)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.

Step 3

Add the cold, cubed butter into the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, and chopped chives until evenly distributed.

Step 5

Gradually pour in the cold heavy cream and mix until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overwork the dough.

Step 6

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently bring it together into a disc about 1 inch thick.

Step 7

Using a sharp knife or a bench scraper, cut the disc into 8 equal wedges.

Step 8

Transfer the wedges to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.

Step 9

Brush the tops of the scones with the beaten egg to ensure a golden-brown finish.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and cooked through.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and allow the scones to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before serving warm.
