BACON CORNMEAL SCONES
Recipe by: Country cooking, summer 1994
Serving Size: 8
Category: Scones
Ingredients:
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 cups All-purpose flour
2 cups Yellow cornmeal
4 teaspoons Baking powder
1 tablespoon Sugar
1/2 teaspoon Baking soda
1/2 teaspoon Salt
2/3 cup Vegetable shortening
8 Bacon slices; cooked -- crumbled
1 1/3 cups Buttermilk
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 425 degrees; grease a large baking sheet. In a large bowl, combine
flour, cornmeal, baking powder, sugar, baking soda and salt. With a pastry blender, or
two knives, cut in the shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside 2
tablespoons crumbled bacon. Add buttermilk and remaining bacon to dry ingredients
and mix lightly with a fork until mixture clings together and forms soft dough. Turn
dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently 5 or 6 times. Divide dough
in half. With a lightly floured rolling pin, roll one half of the dough into a 7-inch round;
cut into 4 wedges. Repeat with remaining dough. Place scones one inch apart on
prepared pan. Pierce tops with the tines of a fork. Brush tops with water and sprinkle
with reserved bacon. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve warm.
