Ingredients

  • 730 grams all-purpose flour
  • 60 grams dark brown sugar
  • 60 grams powdered sugar
  • 25 grams baking powder
  • 3 grams kosher salt
  • 3 grams smoked paprika
  • 225 grams unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 250 grams diced California Dried Figs
  • 3 slices bacon, cooked until crispy, chopped
  • 40 grams smoked Gouda, shredded
  • 1 ½ tablespoons chopped Chinese or standard chives
  • 300 grams heavy cream
  • 2 large eggs

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.

  2. Combine the all-purpose flour, brown sugar, powdered sugar, baking powder, salt, smoked paprika, and butter in a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.

  3. Begin mixing for 2 minutes on low speed, gently breaking the butter into the dry ingredients.

  4. Toss in the California Dried Figs, bacon, gouda, and chives.  Mix for 20 seconds and pour in the heavy cream and egg.

  5. Continue to mix the dough until it comes together. Put the entire dough on a table.

  6. Use a knife to mark 12 pieces. Start by quartering the circle, separate the quarters and cut those into thirds, until you have 12 equal-ish portions.

  7. Place on sheet pans lined with parchment paper and sprayed with non-stick spray.

  8. Bake the scones for 20 to 25 minutes. To make sure you bake completely, test by gently pressing on top. If it springs back, it’s baked in the middle otherwise, if it gives way, bake longer, by 2-minute increments.
