HOW TO TELL IF SCONES ARE DONE RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
• In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in butter. Mix the egg and milk in a small bowl, and stir into flour mixture until moistened.
• Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead briefly. Roll dough out into a 1/2 inch thick round. Cut into 8 wedges, and place on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden brown.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°. Line a baking sheet with parchment.  In a large bowl, whisk the flour, oats, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Add the butter into the dry mixture and toss evenly to coat. Using your finger tips, press the butter into the flour mixture until it has the texture of coarse meal, with a few pea-size pieces remaining. Stir in the cheddar, bacon, and chives. In a medium bowl, whisk the cream and eggs until well combined. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until a dough begins to form but mixture is still crumbly.  Turn the dough out onto the prepared baking sheet. Knead just to combine (do not overwork). Then pat into a 6-inch circle, about 1/2 inch thick. Cut into 8 wedges and spread evenly on pan. Sprinkle tops with more oats.  Bake, rotating sheet halfway through, until golden brown, 20 to 24 minutes. Let cool before serving.
