Maple Bacon Buttermilk Scones

February 19, 2015

Are you ready for some Maple and Bacon Goodness.

Well these scones are sure to deliver on flavor.

They are really PACKED with goodness.

The dough is mixed with BACON,

the sweet meets the savory in these scones and they are irresistible.

They have a great balance of flavor that will have them disappearing before you eyes!

Another item that brings on the flavor is buttermilk. Take a look at my post on How to Make Buttermilk if you don’t have any on hand, it’s a quick and easy tip!

If you want to prepare the bacon and have nice one inch size pieces of thick bacon you will want to look at the post I wrote on How to Bake Bacon.

Don’t overlap the scones, give them enough room to rise up nicely.

Over crowding baking items on a cookie sheet results in uneven baking.

Delicious Maple Bacon Scones @createdbydiane

Just before serving drizzle on a little maple syrup and enjoy these for breakfast, snack or as a really fun savory dessert.

I piled on some more bacon, because…

it’s BACON and really there is never a time I won’t want it piled high!

    If I wanted to add apple filling how would I adjust this recipe for maple bacon buttermilk scones.

      You can try adding 1/2 cup apple filling (dice the apples small) and add 1/4 cup more flour. The batter will be sticky, just add a little flour as needed to roll them out.

    […] And these distant relatives I am showing you how to bake today have a light lemony flavor that cuts through any heaviness. With buttermilk added to the party, our scone stays moist and slightly tangy with a hint of sweetness. And this recipe serves as a great base to other scone ideas, like these Maple Bacon Buttermilk Scones.  […]
