Gluten-Free Bacon Gruyère Scones

Recipe Ingredients

Let's break down what you'll need for these delicious Gluten-Free Bacon Gruyère Scones.

Bisquick™ Gluten Free Pancake & Baking Mix: This all-in-one mix provides the gluten-free flour, leavening (to make the scones rise), and salt, giving your scones a perfect, light structure without any fuss.

Gluten-free Gruyère Cheese: Gruyère cheese melts beautifully and adds a rich, nutty, and slightly sweet flavor that makes these savory scones truly special. It also adds moisture and fat, contributing to a wonderfully tender texture.

Gluten-free Bacon: Crisply cooked and crumbled bacon infuses every bite with a smoky, salty flavor that perfectly complements the cheesy Gruyère.

Whipping Cream: The high fat content in whipping cream adds a luxurious tenderness to the dough that you just can't get with regular milk.

Butter: A finishing touch of melted butter brushed on top before baking gives the scones a beautiful, golden-brown finish and an extra layer of rich, buttery flavor.

How to Make Gluten-Free Bacon Gruyère Scones

For perfect Gluten-Free Bacon Gruyère Scones turn out every time, here are some essential tips and tricks. See the full recipe below for all the details.

1. Mix and Form Dough 

Don't overmix the dough. This is perhaps the most important tip for tender scones! Once you add the whipping cream, mix just until the ingredients are combined and the dough forms. Overmixing can lead to tough, dense scones, even with gluten-free flour.

2. Shape and Prepare for Baking

When patting out the dough and cutting the wedges, be gentle. Less handling means a lighter, flakier scone.

3. Bake & Enjoy 

Keep an eye on your scones during the last few minutes of baking. They should be beautifully golden brown on top and around the edges. This indicates they are fully cooked through.

How to Store (and Reheat) Gluten-Free Bacon Gruyère Scones

Proper storage will help keep your delicious Gluten-Free Bacon Gruyère Scones fresh and enjoyable. Here's how to store them and how long they'll typically stay fresh.

Room Temperature 

Once completely cooled, store the scones in an airtight container at room temperature for 1-2 days. A quick warm-up in the oven or toaster oven will help revive their deliciousness!

Refrigerator 

For slightly longer freshness, you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Freezer

Once completely cooled, wrap individual scones tightly in plastic wrap, then place them in a freezer-safe bag or container. They will stay fresh in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Reheat Frozen Scones

You can reheat them directly from frozen in a 325°F oven for about 10-15 minutes, or until warmed through. You can also microwave them for a quicker reheat, but the texture might be softer.
