    ⏲️ Storage

    If you want to make them ahead of time to enjoy later, you can freeze your bacon cheddar scones by placing them on a sheet pan and then freezing them until solid. Once they are frozen, you can transfer them to a bag. To reheat, add a few additional minutes to your baking time, and they are ready to go!

    💭 Frequently Asked Questions

    What should the perfect scone be like?

    The perfect scone is moist and crumbly. It should have an aroma of butter and look lightly golden on the outside.

    How do I get my scones to rise and be fluffy?

    Make sure you're using fresh baking powder and don't over knead your dough! You want your dough to just come together.

    Why are my scones dry?

    For this bacon cheddar scone recipe you might need to add more milk or heavy cream. You want the dough to just come together because some crumbling is ideal, but you don't want a sandy texture. This article from Food Crumbles offers more tips to keep your scones moist and delicious.

    🍴 Serving Suggestions

    You can enjoy savory scones with butter or jam, and are delicious with a fried egg for breakfast. They are also incredibly yummy with soup and I love to serve them with my Slow Cooker Chicken Chili Recipe.
