Preparation Steps
1
Activate the yeast: in lukewarm milk, stir in the sugar and yeast, then let it stand for 10 minutes until foamy.
2
In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt, then rub in the butter with your fingertips until evenly distributed.
3
Cook the bacon until crispy, then chop it finely and add it to the flour mixture along with half of the grated cheese.
4
Add the sour cream, egg, and activated yeast, then knead the dough thoroughly.
5
On a floured surface, roll out the dough to about 2 cm (¾ inch) thickness, then fold it three times to create a flaky texture.
6
Cover with a kitchen towel and let it rest for 30 minutes to rise slightly.
7
Roll it out again to about 2 cm (¾ inch) thickness, then use a scone cutter to cut out the shapes.
8
Place the scones on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and brush the tops with beaten egg.
9
Sprinkle the tops with the remaining grated cheese, then bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
10
Let them cool slightly, then serve fresh, with a crispy outside and a tender, crumbly inside.
