Grate butter using the fine edge of your grater. Grate onto parchment paper and then place it in the freezer while you prepare the remaining ingredients.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder.
Add in 6 slices of crumbled bacon, reserving about 4 strips to be crumbled for the topping.
Remove the grated butter from the freezer and, using a fork, incorporate it into dry ingredients.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, maple syrup, and heavy cream.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
On the lined baking sheet, shape the dough into a circle, about ¾-inch thick. Add a bit of flour to your hands to prevent sticking. Chill the dough in the freezer for 30 minutes or up to 1 hour.
When ready, preheat the oven to 425°F. Cut the dough into 6-8 wedges, gently separating the edges of each scone, creating a ½-inch space between each.
Brush the scones with 2 tablespoons of heavy cream. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
