What You'll Need:
Makes 40 scones
For the Scones:
8 Slices thick cut bacon
3 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 tsp mustard powder
2/3 cup frozen butter
1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 cup chopped chives
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
For the Herb Butter
2 sticks butter
1Tbsp honey
2 Tbsp chopped chives
1 Tbsp chopped sage
How to Make It:
1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees, and line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper, or silpats.
2. Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until desired crispyness, then remove and place on a paper towel lined plate.
3. Combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and mustard powder and mix together.
4. Chop the cooked bacon into small pieces.
5. Use a grater to grate the frozen butter into the flour mixture.
6. Add the cheese, chives, and bacon and mix together loosely.
7. Measure out the buttermilk, and mix in small amounts at a time. Depending on your mixture, you might need a little bit more or less. You want the dough to be barely coming together in sort of clumps. You do NOT want a uniform mixed batter.
8. Flour a cutting board and pat out about 5 in. circles. Then cut the circles into wedges of desired size, and spread out on the cookie sheets.
9. Bake for 24-30 minutes, or until the scones are cooked and golden brown.
10. For the herb butter, use an electric mixer to mix 2 sticks of butter, the honey, and herbs together and serve with the scones.
Enjoy!
