Bacon and Cheddar Scone Sandwiches

Bacon and Cheddar Scone Sandwiches are a delicious and hearty breakfast or brunch option that will satisfy your cravings for something savory and filling. This dish is perfect for those who love the combination of bacon and cheddar cheese, and who enjoy the texture and flavor of scones.

To make these Bacon and Cheddar Scone Sandwiches, you will need the following ingredients per serving:

- 2 slices of bacon
- 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt
- 1/4 teaspoon of baking powder
- 1/8 teaspoon of baking soda
- 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small pieces
- 2 tablespoons of buttermilk

To start, preheat your oven to 400°F and cook the bacon until crispy. Once cooked, remove the bacon from the pan and set it aside to cool. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Add the chilled butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Add the shredded cheddar cheese and mix well.
Next, add the buttermilk to the mixture and stir until a dough forms. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead it gently until it comes together. Roll the dough out to about 1/2 inch thickness and cut it into circles using a biscuit cutter or a glass.
Place the scones on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown. Once the scones are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
To assemble the sandwiches, cut the scones in half and place a slice of bacon on one half. Top with the other half of the scone and serve immediately.
These Bacon and Cheddar Scone Sandwiches are a perfect combination of savory and sweet, with the crispy bacon and cheesy scones complementing each other perfectly. The scones are light and fluffy, with a slightly crispy exterior, while the bacon adds a smoky and salty flavor. This dish is perfect for a weekend brunch or a quick breakfast on the go.
