For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of grated cheddar cheese or a pinch of dried herbs (such as thyme or rosemary) to the dough. If you don't have time to chill the bacon grease, you can substitute an equal amount of cold butter, cut into small cubes. These scones are best enjoyed fresh. However, they can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat gently before serving.
