Ingredients

  • ½ cup (1 stick / 113 g) cold, unsalted butter, grated
  • 2 ½ cups (312.5 g) all-purpose flour
  • cup (67 g) granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 10 slices thick-cut bacon, cooked and crumbled, reserving 4 strips for the topping
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • ¼ cup (78 g) pure maple syrup
  • ½ cup (119 g) heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream

Maple Glaze

  • 1 cup (125 g) confectioners' sugar
  • 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1-2 tablespoons heavy cream or milk, or more until it reaches your desired consistency

Instructions

  • 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.

Glaze

  • To make the glaze, whisk together the confectioners' sugar, maple syrup, and heavy cream until smooth and glossy.
  • Drizzle the warm scones with the glaze and sprinkle with the remaining crumbled bacon.
  • Serve warm.
