Ingredients
  • 1 cup grated zucchini
  • 3 T. fresh chives, chopped finely
  • 1½ cups grated cheddar cheese
  • 8 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 1 stick cold butter, cubed
  • 2½ cups flour
  • 1 T. baking powder
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1 cup of milk
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 425° and spray 2 cookie sheets with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. In a bowl, add the flour, salt, baking powder, and cayenne, and whisk together.
  3. Add in the cubed butter. Cut the butter into the dry ingredients with a pastry cutter or two knives until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs and butter is well-incorporated.
  4. Using a mixer, combine the butter and flour mixture with the bacon, cheese, chives, and zucchini until just combined.
  5. With the mixer on, slowly drizzle in the milk.
  6. Drop the mixture by spoonfuls onto the greased cookie sheets, in circles about 2½ inches wide. Leave space between each scone.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until bottoms of the scones are golden brown.
