So, I'm going to have to keep this post short and sweet because as usual lately, I am running behind - and it feels like I'm running in a million directions. So, while I have no clever words I can think of this week, I did make some little tweaks to this week's recipe choice from Karina of The Floured Apron for Apple Cheddar Scones.
Bacon. Oh yeah. In my humble opinion, there are few things that aren't better with bacon.
I also switched things up a bit by using about half of a fresh Granny Smith apple instead of dried. I just diced it really small and sauteed it with about 1 tablespoon of butter and about a 1/4 cup of chopped pecans.
As for the bacon I just rendered some small pieces of bacon in a skillet and added about 1 tablespoon of brown sugar here too til nice and cooked, then just chopped it a bit smaller - it was about 1/4 cup too.
There was plenty of moisture in the dough to incorporate all my little additions and these were pretty simple to make. We served them warm with some butter and they were great. They would definitely make a great little breakfast edition for a nice change.
