Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 3 cups All-purpose Flour; 1 Tablespoon Baking Powder; 1 teaspoon Salt; 1 teaspoon Ground Pepper; 8 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter, Frozen; 1-1/2 cup Grated Cheddar Cheese; 10 slices Cooked Bacon, Cut Or Crumbled Into Small Pieces; 1 cup Buttermilk (up To 50% More, If Needed); 1 whole Egg; 2 Tablespoons Water

Servings: persons

3 cups All-purpose Flour
1 Tablespoon Baking Powder
1 teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Ground Pepper
8 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter, Frozen
1-1/2 cup Grated Cheddar Cheese
10 slices Cooked Bacon, Cut Or Crumbled Into Small Pieces
1 cup Buttermilk (up To 50% More, If Needed)
1 whole Egg
2 Tablespoons Water

1
Preheat oven to 400 F. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the flour, baking powder, salt and black pepper; mix briefly to combine. Use a cheese grater to grate the frozen butter and add it into the dry mixture.
2
Mix the bacon and the buttermilk into the flour-butter mixture. Stir by hand just until all the ingredients are incorporated. If the dough is too dry to come together, mix in some additional buttermilk, a tablespoon or two at a time until the dough can be formed into a ball. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and pat the dough into an 8-inch disk. Slice the dough into 8 to 10 wedges.
3
In a small bowl combine the egg and water and whisk together. Brush each wedge lightly with the egg wash. Transfer the scones to an un-greased baking sheet. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
