QUICHE LORRAINE SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
• Prepare the bacon, onion and cheese. Toss these ingredients together with 1 teaspoon flour; set aside.
• In a medium sized bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, cayenne, nutmeg and salt. Cut in the butter with a pastry blender or two knives until the butter is pea-size. With a fork, lightly beat the eggs and half-and-half and add to the flour mixture. Add the bacon, onion and cheese mixture. Using a wooden spoon, fold mixture until it begins to come together.
• Turn out the dough onto a well-floured surface and knead gently for less than one minute. Pat dough to ¾ to 1-inch thick and cut using 3-inch biscuit cutter (for large scones) or cut into squares or triangles. Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops of the scones with the egg wash.
• Bake for approximately 20 minutes, or until golden brown.
