    I was scrolling through King Arthur Flour website recipe section and noticed this savory scone recipe. I have not tried these yet but they sound really good. https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/bacon-cheddar-chive-scones-recipe

    Bacon Cheddar Chive Scones
    Oven 400°F Yield 8 large scones

    Ingredients
    2 cups (240g) King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1 tablespoon (14g) baking powder
    2 teaspoons granulated sugar
    4 tablespoons (57g) butter, cold
    1 cup (113g) cheddar cheese, very coarsely grated or diced
    1/3 cup (about 14g) snipped fresh chives or 1/3 cup (21g) finely diced scallion tops
    1/2 pound (227g) bacon, cooked, cooled, and crumbled (about 1 cup)
    3/4 cup + 2 tablespoons (198g) heavy cream or whipping cream;enough to make the dough cohesive

    Instructions
    Preheat the oven to 400°F with a rack in the center. Lightly grease a baking sheet, or line it with parchment.

    Whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder, and sugar. Work the butter into the flour until the mixture is unevenly crumbly, with some of the butter remaining in larger pieces.

    Mix in the cheese, chives, and bacon until evenly distributed.

    Add 3/4 cup of the cream, stirring to combine. Try squeezing the dough together; if it's crumbly and won't hang together, or if there are crumbs remaining in the bottom of the bowl, add cream until the dough comes together. Transfer the shaggy dough to a well-floured work surface.

    Pat the dough into a smooth 7" disk about 3/4" thick. Transfer the disk to the prepared baking sheet. Use a knife or bench knife to cut the disk into 8 wedges, spreading the wedges apart a bit on the pan.

    Brush the scones with a bit of cream; this will help their crust brown.

    Bake the scones for 20 to 22 minutes, until they're golden brown. Remove them from the oven, and cool right on the pan. Serve warm, or at room temperature.
