Bacon Cheddar Scones

"I made a batch of these Bacon Cheddar Scones last week, and I asked Robbie if he wanted a scone with his dinner that night. He looked at me like I had three heads, and said, “Um, no thanks, Dad.” I was shocked. What little boy wouldn’t want a flaky biscuit stuffed with cheese and bacon!? That’s when it hit me. Scone. He didn’t know what a scone was, so he decided against it. I said, “Oh, a scone is basically a biscuit. Do you want a biscuit with your dinner?” “Mmmm…yes! I love biscuits,” was the response that immediately came back. These Bacon Cheddar Scones are seriously amazing! Not only is the base scone tasty, but I added crumbled bacon along with cubes of sharp cheddar cheese. I was tempted to shred the cheese into the dough, but I opted for small cubes instead. That led to those wonderful pockets of cheese scattered throughout these scones. Mmmm…pockets of cheddar cheese!"
