Servings: 12 people
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 Tbsp sugar
- 1/4 tsp table salt
- 1 Tbsp baking powder
- 8 Tbsp cold butter, cubed
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup milk or cream
- 1/4 cub bacon crumbles
- 1/4 cup shredded cheese- any flavor
- 2 Tbsp green onions
Instructions
- Line a large baking pan with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Place pastry cutter in fridge.
- Cube cold butter into small pieces. Place in fridge.
- Mix dry ingredients together in large bowl: 2 1/4 c flour; 1/4 c sugar; 1/4 tsp salt; 1 Tbsp baking powder.
- Whisk the wet ingredients together: 1 egg; 1/2 c yogurt; 1/4 c milk.
- Remove butter from the fridge and add to the dry ingredients. Using pastry cutter, cut butter into flour mixture until butter is roughly the size of peas.
- Add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients along with the 1/4 c bacon crumbles; 1/4 c shredded cheese; 2 tbsp green onions.
- Mix everything together until just combined into a dough ball. You may have to get in there with your hands to make sure everything is incorporated. Don't over-stir.
- Split the dough in half and form two 6-inch discs. You can either roll them out on a lightly floured work surface or form with your hands.
- Using the pastry cutter, cut the discs into six triangles. Pull the triangles about 1-2" apart for crispier edges. Keep them closer if you want soft edges.
- Place the pan in the fridge while you preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Use this time to clean up.
- Once oven is preheated, place scones inside and bake for 18 min, or until tops are just golden brown. You don't want to overcook the scones as they can become too dry. They will continue to cook for a bit once you pull them out of the oven.
- Let the scones cool for just a bit before enjoying. Warm scones are so delicious!
