ROSEMARY BACON GRUYÈRE SCONES
These Rosemary Bacon Gruyère Scones are flaky and buttery, with mouth-watering flavor. With the perfect savory flavor from the bacon and gruyère paired with hints of fresh rosemary, the combination of flavors makes for a scone that you will crave at any occasion!
Ingredients
- 2 c. all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp. granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 tbsp. rosemary, fresh
- 1 tbsp. baking powder
- 1/4 tsp. white pepper
- 8 tbsp. butter, unsalted & chilled
- 1/2 c. heavy cream
- 1/2 lb. bacon
- 1 1/2 c. gruyère, shredded
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In the bowl of the food processor, add flour, sugar, baking powder, rosemary and white pepper. Pulse for a few seconds to combine the dry ingredients.
- Add the chilled butter, in pieces, to the food processor and pulse until the butter is incorporated and the mixture resembles sandy crumbs. Pour the mixture into a large bowl. (If you do not have a food processor, use a pastry blender to cut in the chilled butter or a grater to grate in the chilled butter into the dry ingridents.)
- In a small bowl, mix together the heavy cream and egg.
- Add the wet ingredient mixture to the large bowl with the dry ingredient mixture. Stir to combine everything. (I like to use a fork at the beginning and then use my hands to fully combine the dough.) The dough will be slightly sticky.
- Once the dough is combined, add the bacon and gruyère. Mix until incorporated.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and pat the dough into a circular disc, about 1 inch in height. Using a sharp knife, cut 8 wedges. Place the wedges on the prepared baking sheet.
- Transfer the baking sheet with the prepared scones to the oven and bake for 15-17 minutes or until the edges begin to turn golden brown. Serve warm and enjoy!
