I love scones and this recipe is my favorite~ The bacon and blueberry flavors blend great together. I like to drizzle warm scones with honey~ Enjoy!
In a large bowl, combine the first six ingredients. Cut in the cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In a small bowl, whisk together buttermilk and oil; add to crumb mixture. Stir in blueberries and bacon.
Turn onto a floured surface; knead 10 times. Pat into an 8-inch circle. Cut into eight wedges. Separate wedges and place on a greased baking sheet.
In a small bowl, beat egg and milk; brush over scones, sprinkle with sugar. Bake at 425 for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.
Note: If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw before adding to batter.
