  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 4 slices shortcut bacon, diced

Method:

Preheat oven to 200°C. Line a baking tray with baking paper and set aside.

In a bowl, sift the flour and add the salt and sugar.

Rub the butter into the flour using your fingertips. Add the bacon and cheese and combine.

Using a blunt knife, stir in the milk until you have made a dough.

Lightly knead the dough on a floured surface. Pat dough out to 2cm thick.

Cut out using a scone cutter that has been dipped in flour and place, touching together on the baking tray.

Brush a little milk on the tops.

Bake for 20-25 minutes.
