Perfect for brunch, the bacon in these scones offers a savory twist. If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them. Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour |
2 tablespoons sugar |
2 teaspoons baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/3 cup cold butter |
3/4 cup buttermilk |
1 tablespoon vegetable oil |
1 cup fresh blueberries or 1 cup frozen blueberries |
4 slices cooked bacon, crumbled |
1 egg |
1 tablespoon milk |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the first six ingredients. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
2. In a small bowl, whisk buttermilk and oil; add to crumb mixture. Stir in blueberries and bacon.
3. Turn onto a floured surface; knead 10 times. Pat into an 8-in circle. Cut into eight wedges. Separate wedges and place on a greased baking sheet.
4. In a small bowl, beat egg and milk; brush over scones. Bate at 425°F for 12 to 15 minutes or untilo golden brown. Serve warm.
