The answer is you mix the bacon , dates, and nuts together. You will have a total of 1 1/2 cups mixture. You add 1 cup of the mixture- bacon, dates and nuts into the flour. The remaining mixture is sprinkled over the scones. Hope this helps.

Is this a typo? It says mix 1 cup bacon into the flour, set the rest aside. But the recipe says only 1/2 cup bacon. Should it be 1 1/2 cups?

These were amazing. Quick to make and so delicious. Was leary of the orange marmalade as it's strong but drizzled some on instead of brushing as that tended to lift the topping pieces and the drizzle was nice as it wasn't over the entire scone. So delicious, I ate..... shall we just say, too many. Never would have put the flavours together. Will definitely make again. Darlene
