class=\"wp-block-heading\">Expert Tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This is such an easy savory scone recipe, but here are my top tips for mastering perfect scones every time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Serves &#8211;<\/strong>\u00a012 large x 6cm scones or 18 small x 3cm scones (if making smaller cheese and bacon scones, reduce the cooking time accordingly).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Variations &#8211; <\/strong>try adding fresh chives or finely sliced spring onions (green onions) to the mixture.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For flaky <strong>cheese and bacon scones<\/strong>, use cold ingredients! Use chilled butter, cheese, and even flour to prevent melting too soon. Handle the dough minimally for the best texture! \u2744\ufe0f\ud83e\uddc0\ud83e\udd53<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Don&#8217;t <\/strong><span style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\"><strong>overmix the dough\u2014<\/strong>overmixed dough leads to hard,<\/span> tough scones. For fluffy scones, I recommend using a knife rather than a spoon to fold through the mixture.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cutting the scones<\/strong><span style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\"><strong>: <\/strong>The less you touch the dough, the softer and fluffier your scones will be. Just pat the dough down gently with your fingertips and then cut rounds using a scone cutter. Once you\u2019ve cut as many rounds as possible<\/span>, gently push the dough together and cut the remaining rounds.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Flour your cutter &#8211;\u00a0<\/strong>dip your scone cutter lightly in flour between cuts to prevent the mixture sticking. If you don\u2019t have a cutter, you can just cut the dough with a knife.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Brush the scones with milk<\/strong>\u00a0&#8211; this helps give them a beautiful golden top.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Place the scones slightly touching in the tin &#8211;<\/strong>\u00a0this helps them to rise.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Use a hot oven<\/strong><span style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\"><strong>\u2014<\/strong>make sure your oven is\u00a0<strong>pre-heated<\/strong>\u00a0before cooking your scones. Although they only take a few minutes to cook, you need that high temperature to give a golden crumbly crust on the outside<\/span> while keeping the inside beautifully soft and fluffy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"faqs\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">FAQs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1710806770492\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How long will bacon and cheese scones last?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">These bacon and cheese scones are best served on the day they\u2019re cooked but will last up to 2-3 days stored in an airtight container at room temperature (you might like to reheat them slightly if you\u2019re not serving them on the day). <\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1710741536602\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can I freeze cheese and bacon scones?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes!

I recommend using a knife rather than a spoon to fold the mixture through.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cutting the scones &#8211;\u00a0<\/strong>the less you touch the dough, the softer and fluffier your scones will be. Just pat the dough down gently with your fingertips and then cut rounds using a scone cutter. Once you\u2019ve cut as many rounds as you can, gently push the dough together and cut the remaining rounds.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Flour your cutter &#8211;\u00a0<\/strong>dip your scone cutter lightly in flour between cuts to prevent the mixture sticking. If you don\u2019t have a cutter, you can just cut the dough with a knife.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Brush the scones with milk<\/strong>\u00a0&#8211; this helps give them a beautiful golden top.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Place the scones slightly touching in the tin &#8211;<\/strong>\u00a0this helps them to rise.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Use a hot oven &#8211;\u00a0<\/strong>make sure your oven is pre-heated before cooking your scones. As they only take a few minutes to cook, you need that high temperature to give a golden crumbly crust on the outside, while keeping the inside beautifully soft and fluffy.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Storing scones &#8211; <\/strong>scones are best served on the day that they\u2019re cooked but will last up to 2-3 days (you might like to reheat them slightly if you\u2019re not serving them on the day).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Freeze &#8211;<\/strong>\u00a0you can freeze the scones for up to 3 months.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<span style=\"display: block;\"><\/span>\n\n<span style=\"display:
