Bacon and Cheese Scones

Instructions

1. Step
   Pre-heat the oven to 400°F.
2. Step
   In a bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper together.
3. Step
   Add the grated cheese and bacon crumble and toss until evenly distributed.
4. Step
   In another bowl, mix the egg and cream together. Add this to the flour mixture and mix until the liquid is absorbed and the dough comes together.
5. Step
   Turn the dough out onto a counter and knead about 10 times, roll out (or use your fingers and pat) the dough into a rectangle shape roughly 1 inch thick. Using a knife, cut the dough into half lengthwise and into thirds widthwise. Cut each rectangle diagonally for a total of 8-10 scones.
6. Step
   Transfer the scones to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, brush the tops with cream and bake for 16 - 20 minutes until golden.
