I know these scones might not look like much. But I am obsessed with them.  And basically all scones, frankly. I was one of those people who said they didn’t like scones.  Well, that was because I had never had one done properly. Scones must be crusty and flaky on the outside, while tender and buttery on the inside. And I promise they aren’t as tricky as you would think! Anyhow, in my quest to make the perfect scone I discovered the recipe for these savory scones. I mean, bacon and cheddar?  How can it be bad? Also, let me say that scones are the perfect lady food…and what I am doing today with a bunch of other blogger friends is participating in an online baby shower for our friend Jamie.

Jamie is the classy lady behind My Baking Addiction.  I have been a fan of hers for years and am SO happy that she is expecting a little baby baking addict. So yeah.  Scones, babies and Jamie. It’s a perfect day! These have a few steps, but they are all simple. Promise. Just fry up some bacon… You’ll want it nice and crispy. Then chop it into bits… Add some butter into your dry ingredients… And blend together using your pastry cutter. Stir in some cheese next.  Oh yeah! Add in your bacon, chives if you’re feeling crazy and some cream… Work that together until it forms a dough. Work it out on a lightly floured surface into a circle. Then place it on a baking sheet and brush with a little more cream… Slice it into the traditional wedges… And separate them to bake. Bake them up until they are golden brown… And serve with or without butter.  But I say WITH butter. So so so yummy!
