Savoury Cheese And Bacon Scones

While most scone recipes are prepared as an accompaniment for afternoon tea or coffee, this savoury variation, flavoured with cheese and bacon, makes an excellent breakfast dish for people on the go.

4 slices bacon, diced

½ cup red onion, finely chopped

2 sprigs rosemary, stemmed, chopped

3 cups flour

¾ Tbs baking powder

¾ Tbs sugar

1 ½ tsp salt

½ cup unsalted butter, cut into small cubes

1 cup grated Colby cheese

½ cup grated tasty cheddar cheese

1 cup double cream

2 Tbs double cream, extra

freshly ground black pepper, to taste

1	Preheat oven to 200°C. In medium skillet, cook the bacon, onion and rosemary until bacon is crisp (5-7 minutes). Remove with slotted spoon to drain on paper towel.
2	In large bowl sift together flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. Cut in the butter with fork or pastry cutter. Add in cheeses and pepper. Work until lumps start to come together.
3	Add the bacon, onion, rosemary mixture. Add the 1 cup plus 2 Tbs double cream. Work together to form sticky dough.
4	Turn out onto floured surface, knead and pat until it comes together. Divide in half and form into 2 large circles, about 18cm in diameter and 2cm thick. Cut each into 8 wedges.
5	Transfer to large baking sheet lined with baking paper. Make sure there is a little space between scones. Brush tops of scones lightly with cream or milk. Bake 20-25 minutes.
6	Serve warm.
