Here’s a delicious recipe for Hungarian Bacon Scones—savory, buttery, and perfect for breakfast or snacks:
Ingredients (Makes about 8 scones)
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tbsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
½ cup cold butter, cubed
1 cup cooked bacon, chopped
¾ cup grated cheese (optional, e.g., cheddar or Hungarian trappista)
¾ cup milk (plus extra for brushing)
1 egg (optional, for brushing)
Instructions
Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.
Add cold butter and cut it into the flour using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add Bacon and Cheese
Stir in chopped bacon and grated cheese (if using).
Form the Dough
Gradually add milk, mixing until a soft dough forms.
Turn onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead a few times.
Pat dough into a circle about 1 inch thick.
Cut and Prepare Scones
Cut into 8 wedges (like a pizza) or use a round cookie cutter.
Place on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush tops with milk or beaten egg for a golden finish.
Bake
Bake for 15–20 minutes, until golden brown.
Let cool slightly before serving.
✨ Tips:
Add chopped fresh herbs like parsley or chives for extra flavor.
Serve warm with butter or alongside eggs for a hearty breakfast.
