Instructions
Preheat oven to 400F.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, white sugar and salt.
Place butter in the dry mixture and use a large fork or pastry cutter to combine with the dry mixture until it resembles coarse sand.
Add 3/4 cup of the cheese, most of the bacon and most of the green onions, reserving some for garnish. Stir well to mix.
Add egg and 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream and stir together to form a cohesive dough.
Place the dough on a floured work surface and shape into a large circle, about 1" to 1 1/2" thick.
Cut the circle into 8 equal portions using a pizza slicer.
Place the scones on a cookie sheet lined with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
Brush the tops of each scone with heavy whipping cream and garnish with cheese, bacon and onions.
Bake for 18-22 minutes, until lightly golden.
Notes
Add Chives:
This adds another savory element,it adds such flavor.
Cold:
All your ingredients should be as cold as possible for best results, freeze your butter.
Mixing:
Do not over mix, just mix until combined.
Before baking:
Chill before you bake, again cold is better.
Seasoned butter:
Garlic butter or other compound butters add additional flavor.
