Scone Cheddar Bacon And Chive Biscuits Recipe 435

BACON-CHEDDAR-CHIVE SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425°F Lightly grease a baking sheet, or line it with parchment.
• Whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder, and sugar.
• Work the butter into the flour until the mixture is unevenly crumbly.
• Mix in the cheese, chives, and bacon till evenly distributed.
• Add ¾ cup of the cream, stirring to combine. Try squeezing the dough together; if it's crumbly and won't hang together, or if there are crumbs remaining in the bottom of the bowl, add cream until the dough comes together. Transfer the shaggy dough to a well-floured work surface.
• Pat the dough into a smooth 7" disk about ¾" thick. Transfer the disk to the prepared baking sheet.
• Use a knife or bench knife to cut the disk into 8 wedges, spreading the wedges apart a bit on the pan.
• Brush the scones with a bit of cream; this will help their crust brown.
• Bake the scones for 20 to 25 minutes, until they're golden brown. Remove them from the oven, and cool right on the pan. Serve warm, or at room temperature.
• Yield: 8 large scones.

SCONE - CHEDDAR, BACON, AND CHIVE BISCUITS RECIPE - (4.3/5)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp and brown. Transfer bacon to paper towels to drain and then crumble. In a food processor, combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Add the butter cubes and pulse until a course meal forms, about 30 seconds. Transfer mixture to a large bowl and add cheddar, bacon, and chives. Gradually add the buttermilk, stirring to moisten evenly (batter will feel sticky). Drop generous scoopfuls (I used an ice cream scoop) of batter onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a few inches of space in between. Bake biscuits until golden, about 18 minutes. Brush biscuits lightly with melted butter and let cool 10 minutes.
