Bacon Cheddar Scallion Scones

Bacon Cheddar Scallion Scones Odds are you've had a scone before. But how about a savory scone? Scones shouldn't be limited to dried cranberries, orange zest, and cinnamon. These have got crisp bacon, scallions, and cheddar cheese in them, and they ROCK. And if you want to take them to the next level, add some sauteed jalapeno peppers. I do that half the time I make these. Start by combining flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a big bowl, then stir in cheddar cheese, scallions, and bacon: Work in butter until you get pea sized pieces of butter coated in the flour mixture. Make a well in the center and pour in the heavy cream: Stir until a dough forms, pat the dough out into a rectangle, and cut it into triangles: It's all ready to go into the oven! 20 minutes in and they'll be crisp and flaky.
