Bacon Cheddar Chive Scones

First, cook your bacon until crisp however you prefer. With a small batch of 4 like this, I just microwave it between paper towels on a plate for 5 minutes. Crumble it and set it aside.

Preheat oven to 375ºF and line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment. In a bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, brown sugar, salt and cumin. Use a pastry cutter to cut in cubed butter and cheddar until mixture is pebbly and butter is all coated in flour. Put bowl in freezer for 15 minutes to chill it again. When the time is up, stir in crumbled bacon, chives and Greek yogurt to bring it together. It will be really shaggy and that is ok.

Bring mixture together into a ball with floured hands, then press out into a large disc about 1 inch thick. Use a 3-inch biscuit cutter to cut out as many scones as you can get, keeping the cuts close together. Bring the scraps together again and cut out as many more as you can. You should get about 10.

Line up scones on the sheet tray and brush beaten egg. Bake for about 20 minutes, until really golden brown. Let cool a bit, then serve immediately warm! Enjoy!
