Bacon, who doesn’t love bacon? My son loves bacon so much someone bought him bacon flavored mints once. Okay, that might be going a bit too far, but add it to these Savory Gluten-free Bacon Gouda Scones and you have a recipe for perfection. This simple gluten-free recipe can be baked up in no time and the results are so delicious. Perfect with scrambled eggs in the morning or with a nice hearty soup for lunch or dinner.

I also attempted to create my first video this week. I can tell you this, it was not easy creating a video with my phone, holding it with one hand and attempting to cut, chop, and stir with the other! It was a bit like patting my head, rubbing my tummy while balancing on a large rubber ball. You think I’m joking? I think I dropped my phone into the dough three or four times! I called my husband to tell him I created my first video and how difficult it was. He said, ‘Why didn’t you use our selfie stick?’ Hand slap to my forehead!!! Why didn’t I think of that? We picked up a selfie stick while in Europe; a long telescoping pole that holds the iPhone on the end. It even has Bluetooth capabilities, so all you have to do is push a button at the end of the mono-pod stick and it takes your picture. But even though I may have produced a few gray hairs on my head, I did have fun attempting my first food video. I would love some feedback from you.

These savory gluten-free bacon Gouda scones will not last long after they come out of the oven. Perfect with scrambled eggs or a hearty bowl of soup.

Ingredients

• 2 cups gluten-free baking flour blend (Both Pamela's or Bob's 1 to 1 GF baking flour works well)
• 6 tablespoons butter (cold & cubed)
• 1 teaspoon baking powder (aluminum-free)
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice (or vinegar)
• 1 Large egg (cage-free)
• 1 tablespoon fresh chives (chopped)
• 3 pieces bacon (sliced)
• 1 cup Gouda cheese (cubed)
• 1 Large egg white (for basting)
• 1 teaspoon sea salt (sprinkled over tops of scones)

Directions

Step 1

Slice three strips of bacon into small pieces (1/2 inch) place in a small frying pan and fry until crisp. Remove from heat and place on a paper towel to absorb grease. Set aside.

Step 2

Chop Gouda cheese into 1/4 inch cubes and set aside.

Step 3

Take 1/2 cup milk and add lemon juice or vinegar to curdle milk. Set aside.

Step 4

In a medium bowl add gluten-free flour blend and baking powder. Stir until blended.

Step 5

Cut butter into 1/2 inch cubes. Place cubed butter into the flour blend and cut in with a pastry cutter. Flour should resemble small pea-sized bits.

Step 6

Mix curdled milk and large egg together. Place in flour mix and gently fold a few times with a wooden spoon.

Step 7

Add chopped chives, bacon and Gouda cheese and mix a few times with wooden spoon, then mix with hand until dough ball forms.

Step 8

Mound dough into a half dome on a flat surface. Using a large bladed knife, cut into 8 equal triangular slices, similar to slicing a pie. Space evenly on a parchment covered cookie sheet. Baste tops of scones with egg wash from egg whites and sprinkle with sea salt.

Step 9

Bake for 17 minutes in a 425 degree oven. Remove from oven when tops of scones are golden brown. Serve warm.
