Maple Bacon Chocolate Chip Scones

Maple bacon chocolate chip scones are one of my favorite flavor combinations! The savory bacon, the sweetness of the chocolate chips, topped with the maple syrup glaze just works perfectly. These are perfect for your brunch table or tea party.

Ingredients
  

For the Scones:
  • 2 cups all purpose or bread flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tbsp salted butter cold and cut into cubes
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 4 strips bacon cooked and chopped
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet mini chocolate chips
For the Glaze:
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1-2 tablespoons milk

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  2. In your mixer combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut the cold butter into smaller pieces and add to the dry mixture. Mix together until the butter is broken into small little pieces. It will take time so just be patient and it will break down!
  3. Add the milk, cream, vanilla, chocolate chips, and chopped bacon and mix just until nicely combined.
  4. Turn out the dough onto a floured surface. Divide dough in half and by hand form both sections into circles. You want the dough about an inch thick. Cut each circle into 8 pieces like a pie with a dough scraper or knife.
  5. Place about an inch apart on a cookie sheet. Bake for 17 minutes or until golden brown. Cool and then drizzle with glaze.
To make the Glaze:
  1. Combine all ingredients in a small bowl with a spoon. Add a little more or less milk to get the consistency you need.
  2. I put the glaze in a small ziploc bag, snip the corner off, and drizzle the glaze on the scones.
