Scone Ingredients

Method

Scone Preparation

1

Prepare the Oven

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2

Mix Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

3

Incorporate Butter

Cut the cold butter into small cubes and add it to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until it resembles coarse crumbs.

4

Add Cheese, Bacon, and Kimchi

Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, chopped bacon, and chopped kimchi until evenly distributed.

5

Mix Wet Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and egg. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.

6

Shape the Scones

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently just until it comes together. Pat into a circle about 1 inch thick and cut into wedges.

7

Bake

Transfer the scones to the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.

8

Cool and Serve

Let the scones cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
