Bacon, Walnut And Thyme Scones Recipe

Name: Bacon, Walnut And Thyme Scones
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 3 tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces; 2 cups flour (or 1 cup whole wheat flour and 1 cup all-purpose flour); 1 teaspoon dried thyme; 1 teaspoon garlic powder; 1 tablespoon baking powder; 1/2 teaspoon black pepper; 1/2 teaspoon fine salt; 1/2 cup chopped walnuts; 1 cup plus 1 tablespoon low-fat milk, divided; 1/4 cup crumbled cooked bacon (about 3 slices)

Servings: persons

1
Preheat oven to 400u00b0F. Transfer butter to a small bowl and place in the freezer for a few minutes to get very cold.
2
Meanwhile, put flour, thyme, garlic powder, baking powder, pepper and salt into a food processor and pulse until mixed. Remove butter from freezer and transfer to food processor. Pulse until butter is the size of breadcrumbs. Add walnuts and pulse once or twice. While continuing to pulse, slowly add milk and pulse just until a wet dough is formed. (Avoid over processing so walnuts are not pulverized.)
3
Using a spoon, drop dough onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet to form 8 scones. Alternately, turn dough out onto a floured surface, pat into an 8-inch circle and cut into wedges. Brush scones with remaining 1 tablespoon milk, then sprinkle bacon over the top, pressing to ensure it adheres. Bake until golden and cooked through, 25 to 30 minutes.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
