Parmesan Bacon Scones
By: Bekie A
3 1/2 cups of self-rising flour
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 tbsp salt
1 stick melted butter
4 Tbsp of avocado mayo or avocado oil
1 cup of whipping cream plus 2 Tbsp for brushing
1/2 cup of half n half
1 egg
1 cup of freshly grated Parmesan
1 cup of crumbled cooked bacon
Directions:
Whisk together flour, sugar, and salt. Stir in Parmesan. Make a well in the center.
Separately whisk the cream, half n half, egg, butter, and mayo together. Pour into the center of the flour mixture. Pour the crumbled bacon on top.
Stir gently until the mixture comes together and forms a thick dough. You may need to add 2-4 Tbsp of water.
Pat into a 2-3 inch disc on a floured surface. Sprinkle with more flour.
Using a biscuit cutter ( I used my grandma’s ❤️) or a large glass, cut biscuits gently. Spread 1-2 inches apart on a large cooking stone or iron skillet.
Brush tops of the scones with the remaining 2 Tbsp of cream. Bake on 425 for 12-15 minutes until golden.
