These Cheddar Bacon Scones are savory, flaky goodness. I can make them in just over 30 minutes. My family loves whatever I make for dinner when I serve these scones. They are packed full of crispy bacon and gooey cheese. I love this bacon cheddar biscuits recipe because it’s a quick and easy side that’s also super delicious. This recipe is perfect to enjoy with other breakfast foods or as a sandwich.

Cheddar Bacon Scones

Instructions

1
Preheat oven to 400℉.
2
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, white sugar and salt.
3
Place butter in the dry mixture and use a large fork or pastry cutter to combine with the dry mixture until it resembles coarse sand.
4
Add ¾ cup of the cheese, most of the bacon and most of the green onions, reserving some for garnish. Stir well to mix.
5
Add the egg and ¾ cup heavy whipping cream and stir together to form a cohesive dough.
6
Place the dough on a floured work surface and shape into a large circle, about 1" to 1½" thick.
7
Cut the circle into 8 equal portions using a pizza slicer.
8
Place the scones on a cookie sheet lined with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
9
Brush the tops of each scone with heavy whipping cream and garnish with cheese, bacon and onions.
10
Bake for 18-22 minutes, until lightly golden.

Tips & Tricks (5)

  • Keep Ingredients Ice Cold 🧊
    Chill your butter, cream, and even the mixing bowl before combining ingredients to ensure flaky layers and prevent the dough from becoming tough or dense.
  • Cook Bacon Until Crispy 🥓
    Render bacon until completely crispy, then crumble finely to distribute evenly throughout the dough and prevent soggy pockets in your finished scones.
  • Don't Overwork the Dough ✋
    Mix until ingredients just come together—overworking develops gluten and creates tough, dense scones instead of the light, flaky texture you're after.
  • Brush with Egg Wash for Golden Tops 🥚
    Apply the beaten egg wash evenly before baking to achieve a beautiful golden-brown exterior and professional appearance that makes them irresistible.
  • Create Steam for Flakiness 💨
    Place a shallow pan of hot water on the lower oven rack while baking to create steam, which helps scones rise higher and develop those perfect, delicate layers.
