Scones are British small shortcrust pastry buns traditionally served by the Scots and British for breakfast. I made scones with bacon, cheese, and dill.

Pin Recipe Instructions
- Turn on the oven to preheat to 180 degrees. Cover a large baking sheet with parchment, set aside. In a medium bowl, combine all the flour, baking powder, sugar, baking soda, and salt.
- Cut the butter into small pieces, put it in a dry mixture and mix well with your hands, kneading the butter (you should get a homogeneous crumb-like mixture).
- Then add cheese, ham, and dill to this mixture. Form a slide from the crumbly mass, and make a depression in the center.
- In a small bowl, lightly beat the egg, sour cream, and mustard and add this mixture to the well in the flour mixture. Knead the uneven dough with a fork.
- Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead it until smooth, roll up in the form of a roller, about 2 cm thick. Cut this block into circles, 5-6 cm thick.
- Place the circles on the prepared baking sheet at a distance of 2.5 cm from each other. Place the baking sheet in a preheated oven and bake the scones until tender, 18-20 minutes.
- Serve the scones warm, sprinkled with dill. Scones with butter for breakfast are especially good.
