🥗Healthier: turkey bacon

💰Cheaper: ham

all-purpose flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: self-rising flour

Whole wheat flour increases fiber content.

In a large bowl, add flour, salt, sugar, baking soda, and baking powder.

Whisk the dry ingredients together until evenly combined.

Grate a stick of cold refrigerated butter into the bowl using the largest holes of a box grater.

Coat the grated butter with the flour mixture using the tips of your fingers until it resembles a coarse meal.

In a separate bowl, combine sour cream and one egg, mixing until well incorporated.

Pour the sour cream and egg mixture into the flour mixture and stir gently until most of the flour is incorporated.

Add grated cheddar cheese, crispy bacon, and chopped chives to the mixture and continue mixing.

Gather the dough into a ball and place it on a floured surface, shaping it into a round disc about three-quarters of an inch tall.

Cut the dough into wedge shapes using a bench scraper or sharp knife, separating the pieces as you cut.

Arrange the wedges on a baking sheet, alternating their positions to fit.

Sprinkle grated cheese on top of the scones before baking.

Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F for 15 to 17 minutes until golden brown.

While warm, sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and additional chives.

Allow the scones to cool for about five minutes before serving.
