Bacon Cheddar Scones

Football tailgate? Baby shower? Brunch? This is a great recipe that will wow your guests of all occasions! It's not the healthiest, but it's easy and sometimes you just need some comfort food.  I made these for UVA homecoming and they were gone in minutes! Makes 26 mini scones

Ingredients
5 slices of bacon, cooked crispy and chopped
3 green onions, light green and white part chopped
1 stick butter, softened and sliced into 8 pieces
3 cups flour
1 tbsp baking powder
1 tbsp sugar
1.5 cups cheddar cheese, grated
1 cup heavy cream, and a little to put on top of scones before placing them in the oven

Preheat oven to 400F
In a mixing bowl, combine all ingredients except heavy cream
Mix on low speed until dough is clumpy
Add heavy cream slowly and mix for about 30 seconds

On a non-stick pan, form small triangle shaped scones
(there is not a specific size, just make sure they're all about the same)
With your fingers, put some extra heavy cream on top of each scone
Bake for about 15 minutes, but check every 5
Once they are starting to get golden, remove

Allow to cool and enjoy!
