Description
These fluffy One Bowl Muffin Pan Scones are buttery, golden, and easy to make in under 30 minutes! Perfect for breakfast or brunch with bacon and cheese for a savory twist.
Ingredients
Dry:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 4 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt (omit if using bacon bits)
Wet:
- 1/4 cup oil (any neutral oil works great)
- 1 egg
- 1 1/2 cups tepid milk
Optional Extras:
- 1/4 cup cooked bacon bits
- 1/2 cup sharp shredded cheese (cheddar works best)
Instructions
- In a big bowl, whisk together 2 cups flour, 4 tsp baking powder, and ½ tsp salt (skip the salt if you’re tossing in ¼ cup bacon bits later).
- Stir in any extras you like; those bacon bits or ½ cup shredded cheese make these scones so good.
- In a smaller bowl, whisk together ¼ cup oil, 1 egg, and 1½ cups tepid milk until smooth.
- Pour the wet mix into your dry mix. Stir until there are no flour pockets left; it’s fine if it’s a bit lumpy. Don’t overmix or you’ll lose that tender crumb.
- I’ve tried everything from paper liners to metal pans, but honestly, a silicone muffin mold works best.
- Scones pop right out without sticking. If you only have a regular muffin pan, spray it well with non-stick spray or brush with oil.
- Use an ice cream scoop (lightly coated in oil or spray) to drop even portions into each cup. They’ll puff up beautifully.
- Bake at 180°C / 350°F for about 20 minutes, or until a toothpick in the center comes out clean.
- If you’re using silicone, flip them onto a cooling rack, then pop them back in the oven for 5 minutes to crisp the bottoms.
- These are best fresh but can be stored airtight for two days or frozen for up to a month. Pop in the air fryer or oven to reheat.
