Ingredients

Scones:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/3 cup cold butter cubed
  • 3/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon buttermilk
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 4 bacon strips cooked and crumbled
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • 2 tablespoons sugar

Cinnamon Sugar Spread

  • 1/4 cup margarine softened
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  • In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  • Cut in butter and mix until it resembles coarse crumbs (you can do this in a food processor or the old fashioned way - with your hands!).
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together buttermilk and oil. Add to dry ingredients and mix until just moistened (do not overmix. You do not want tough scones).
  • Stir in blueberries, bacon, and cheese.
  • Turn dough out onto a well-floured surface. Knead 10 times. Form into a ball and then pat down until you have an 8-inch circle (about the size of a small dinner plate).
  • Cut circle into eight wedges. Place wedges on a greased baking dish.
  • Mix together egg and milk. Brush over the top of the wedges. Sprinkle wedges with sugar.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow to cool for five minutes before removing from pan.
  • Combine all ingredients for the cinnamon sugar butter in a small bowl. Serve scones warm with butter.
