Food Safety Instruction
DIRECTIONS
- Heat oven to 400°F. Mix flour, baking powder and salt in large bowl. Cut in butter with pastry blender or fork until mixture resembles coarse cornmeal. Stir in cheese, onions, Fisher® Pecans, pepper and bacon. Add cream; stir just until dough comes together. Do not to overwork.
- Turn dough out onto lightly floured surface and press into a ball. Divide dough in half. Pat each half into a circle, about 7-inches in diameter and ¾-inch thick. Cut each circle into 8 wedges with sharp knife to create 16 scones. Place, 1 inch apart, on parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
- Bake 22-23 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.
