Bacon and Chive Scones

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with silpats or parchment paper and set aside.

In a large bowl combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles small peas.

Add egg, sour cream, and heavy cream and blend just until combined. Be careful not to over mix the dough or you’ll end up with tough scones.

Gently fold in the cooked crumbled bacon and the chopped chives.

Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and form into a 12” x 6” rectangle about ¾” thick. Cut into quarters the short way, and thirds the long way to create 12 squares that are 3” x 2.” Cut each square into two triangles. Place on prepared sheets.

Bake 12-15 minutes until edges are set. The tops should look dry, but not golden brown.
