Sometimes you go to a restaurant and there's one item on the menu that really stands out and forever sticks in your mind. When I went to Frenchie Covent Garden this past July that thing turned out to be their snack of Bacon Scones with Maple Syrup.
One bite and I was a complete goner. Salty, sweet, smoky and savory....what more could I ask for? They were so good, in fact, that I not only had them as my starter but later on as my dessert! Don't get me wrong, the entire meal and service at Frenchie was fantastic, but one month on and I am still dreaming about those amazing scones.
Lucky for me the recipe for their signature dish was readily available on the internet. The ingredients are easy to gather and the dough comes together super quick. Try and use the best maple syrup you can find for this recipe. I finished off the glazed scones with a light sprinkling of smoked Maldon sea salt to further enhance the smoky flavor.
While the restaurant's version will always taste best in my mind, I think these homemade beauties are a pretty good substitute - and I don't need to travel 5,000 miles to get them!
