Elvis Scones

It was early Sunday morning and I needed something relatively quick, tasty and not overly filling. I was debating biscuits or scones and was leaning towards scones because I had a bunch of ripe bananas on the counter. Unfortunately, the idea of banana scones just wasn't quite cutting it for me. Then I came across this picture of a bacon cinnamon roll via Slashfood and I was inspired. I had bacon in the fridge and quickly peeled off a few slices and popped them in the microwave.  Once they were crisp, I crumbled them into a  scone dough with a diced up banana and a handful of peanut butter chips. Twenty minutes later we were eating the sweeet, smoky, nutty scones with coffee. Alex gilded the lily even further by sprinkling Ghirardelli Drinking Chocolate on the cold butter, which slowly melted onto his hot scones. Me, I was perfectly happy eating them straight. Apparently Elvis knew as much about food pairings as he did about music.
