• In the bowl of a stand mixer, add both flours, sugar, baking soda, and baking powder; mix on low speed to combine. Add butter, a little at a time, followed by salt. Continue to mix until the mixture has a "sandy" texture, about 5 minutes. Add heavy cream and crème fraîche, followed by the cheese, bacon, and chives. Continue mixing until just combined.
• Place dough on a cutting board and wrap in plastic. Using a rolling pin, shape into a rectangle (about 7x9-inches) and chill for 20 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 325 F. Once dough is chilled, cut it into rectangles and place on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush tops with heavy cream and add more cheese. Finish with freshly grated black pepper. Bake for 20 minutes.
• Scones are done when golden brown and the cheese is melted.

• Heat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder. Use the large holes of a box grater to grate the butter into the flour mixture, tossing occasionally as you shred. Stir in the bacon, scallions, and cheese.
• In another bowl, whisk together the egg and half and half. Combine the two mixtures and blend until the flour is moistened. Do not overmix.
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Pat it into a ½-inch-thick circle. Slice the round into 8 even wedges and transfer the scones to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.
• Bake the scones until golden brown on the top and bottom, rotating the pan halfway through, about 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving.

Into a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Cut in the butter, cheese, green onions, and pepper with a pastry blender or fork, and work just until it starts to form lumps and come together. Add the bacon. Add 1 cup of the cream and work just until it becomes a sticky dough, being careful not to overwork.
• Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and pat until it comes together. Form into 2 large circles, about 7 inches in diameter and 3/4 inch thick and cut each into 8 wedges with a sharp knife. Transfer to baking sheet with a spatula, leaving 1/2-inch space between each wedge. Paint the tops of the wedges lightly with the remaining 2 tablespoons of cream and bake until golden brown, 22 to 23 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly on the baking sheet. Serve warm.

BACON, EGG AND CHEDDAR SCONES

Steps:

• Note before you get started: Shredding or cubing the cheese depends on personal preference; the shredded blends into the pastry, but the cubed leaves little chunks of cheese throughout. I'm a Libra, so I do both. (shred half and cube half ,-)
• Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). Lightly butter a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
• Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt together. Place in either a medium bowl or the work bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade. Cut the butter into the flour so that it is completely incorporated, using two knives, a pastry blender, your hands, or food processor until incorporated.
• Beat 2 of the raw eggs and the cream together and add to the dry ingredients. Mix or process just to incorporate the eggs into the flour and butter; do not overmix. Dump the flour-and-butter mixture into a clean bowl.
• Fold the cheese, scrambled eggs, and bacon into the flour mixture. It will be sticky and chunky. Stir and knead the dough as little as possible while distributing the cheese, scrambled eggs, and bacon throughout.
• Transfer the dough to a well-floured work surface. Pat the dough into a rectangle about 12 x 4 x 3/4 inch high. Cut the dough into three 4-inch squares. Cut the squares on the diagonal to form six triangles. Place the scones at least 1 inch apart on the baking sheet.
• Beat the remaining 1 egg with 2 tablespoons water and use this wash to brush the tops of the scones.
• Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove and serve warm.
