Ingredients
Method
- To make the scones;Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Mix together the flour, cane sugar, baking powder in a large bowl.Add the chopped butter and mix with a fork, then your hands, to incorporate dry ingredients and butter until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Mix the milk and the egg together (duck eggs are amazing in this!).Add the milk mixture to the flour mixture, stirring with a fork.
- Turn the mixture onto a floured surface and shape into a rough rectangle. Use a rolling pin, and roll out to roughly 9 by 13 rectangle.
- Cut the dough in half lengthwise and crosswire. Then cut the halve in half crosswise again to create 8 squares.On the diagonal, cut each square half to form 16 triangles.
- Place on parchment lined cookie sheet and bake until golden brown, approximately 15 minutes. Let cool completely on a wire cooling rack.
For the Glaze
- In a medium bowl, combine the icing sugar, maple syrup, milk, salt, and stir until smooth. Transfer into a shallow rimmed square dish.
- Place the rack of scones over a cookie sheet to catch the drips.Dip each scone face down into the glaze and set on the rack.
- Before the glaze sets, sprinkle on the crumbled bacon. It will take an hour or so for the glaze to set but my bet is no one waits that long!
