Ingredients:
2 cups self-raising flour
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 cup grated cheddar cheese
1/2 cup cooked bacon bits
3/4 cup milk
100g (3.5 oz) unsalted butter, melted
Instructions:
Prepare the dough: Preheat your oven to 200°C.
In a large bowl, mix flour, salt, cheese, and bacon. Gradually add milk and mix until a soft dough forms.
Shape the scones: Roll the dough into small balls (about 2 tablespoons each).
Butter bath: Pour the melted butter into an ovenproof dish. Place the scones in the dish, ensuring they’re slightly touching and coated in butter.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
A toothpick should come out clean when testing.
Serve: Serve warm, optionally garnished with extra cheese or bacon.
