This scone could be a complete breakfast! Made with our Biscuit & Scone Mix.
Ingredients
- ½ cup bacon (about ½ lb., cut into ¼-inch strips and cooked crisp)
- milk for brushing (optional)
-
1 bag Pamela's Biscuit & Scone Mix (13 oz)
- 1 tsp sugar
- ¼ tsp salt
- pinch cayenne (optional)
- ½ cup butter or butter alternative, cut in ½" pieces, well chilled
- 1 cup milk or buttermilk
- ¼ cup chopped chives
- sea salt flakes (optional)
Directions
Fry bacon until crisp, drain well and allow to cool.
Place rack in top third of oven and pre-heat oven to 375°. In bowl of stand mixer, whisk together Biscuit & Scone Mix, sugar, salt, and cayenne. Using paddle attachment (or pastry blender), cut in butter until pea-sized crumbs are formed. Add milk, bacon and chives; mix until just incorporated.
Scoop dough onto a piece of greased parchment or plastic wrap and gently form into a rectangle, about 1½" high.
Cut with greased biscuit cutter (spray each time), and place on greased or parchment covered sheet pan. Brush lightly with milk and sprinkle with a few large crystals or flakes of salt before baking.
Bake 20 to 26 minutes, depending on size, until cracked and just starting to brown.
Recipe Note
Use even more chives for a lively flavor. And if you can’t resist, add ½ cup grated sharp cheddar for a tasty addition.
