Description

Directions

• Preheat oven to 450°F and lightly grease your baking sheet.
• Cook bacon until crisp, using your preferred method, and crumble or chop into ¼-inch pieces.
• In a medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
• Use a pastry cutter, two knives, or your fingers to cut cubed butter into flour mixture until no pieces larger than a pea remain. Stir in 2/3 of the bacon. Reserve 1/3 for topping.
• Use a fork to work in buttermilk until a thick dough forms. Turn out on a well-floured surface and knead 4 or 5 times, until the dough comes together and can be formed into a ball.
• Press ball out to about a 6-inch disk and use a knife or bench scraper to cut into quarters.
• Transfer scones to prepared baking pan. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until scones are just lightly golden.
• Cool scones on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before glazing.
• Whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and maple extract until smooth and drizzle over scones.
• Sprinkle reserved bacon pieces over the top of the scones.
• Serve and enjoy!
