📝 Preparation Steps
1
Preheat oven to 400ºF.
2
Heat a medium size pot over medium-high heat. Add all the bacon to the pot. Cook bacon, stirring occasionally, until fat is rendered and bacon starts to crisp. Transfer bacon to a plate lined with paper towels. Set the bacon drippings aside to cool.
3
Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Whisk flour mixture until well combined. Add 2 tablespoons of bacon drippings to the flour. Stir together using a fork. Add butter to the flour mixture and cut into the flour with a fork or pastry cutter until flour looks crumbly. Add shredded cheese and bacon crumbles to the flour mixture, reserving some cheese and bacon for garnish.
4
Whisk eggs and cream together until well combined. Add cream mixture to the flour mixture and mix together until just combined. Turn out the dough onto a well-floured surface and knead until dough comes together. Roll dough 3/4-inch thick rectangle. Cut the dough into 6 squares and cut the squares in half at a bias to make triangles. Brush the scones with heavy cream, sprinkle with shredded cheese and bacon crumbles.
