Savory Bacon and Cheddar Scones

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 400°F. In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, ground mustard, salt, and pepper. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

2. 2

   In a small bowl, whisk the eggs and milk. Stir the egg mixture into the dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in the chopped onion, shredded cheddar cheese, and two-thirds of the crumbled bacon.

3. 3

   Transfer the dough to a greased baking sheet and pat it into a 7-1/2-inch circle. Cut the dough into eight wedges, but do not separate them. Sprinkle the remaining crumbled bacon over the top.

4. 4

   Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the scones are golden brown. Serve the savory bacon and cheddar scones warm.
