Ingredients

Directions

Step #1 Preheat oven to 220°C.
Step #2 Grill the bacon until starting to crisp.
Step #3 Cool & chop into small dice.
Step #4 Sift the flour into a mixing bowl along with the mustard powder, baking powder & cayenne.
Step #5 Using your hands rub the butter into the mixture until it's fully mixed & it looks like fine breadcrumbs.
Step #6 Stir in the bacon, 3 /4 of the cheddar & chives.
Step #7 Mix the beaten egg with the buttermilk.
Step #8 Stir into the flour mixture until it's formed a smooth dough, but go lightly, otherwise the scones will be very heavy.
Step #9 Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to 1 inch thickness.
Step #10 Cut into 6 circles with a 2 1/2 inch cutter.
Step #11 Place scones on a greased baking sheet.
Step #12 Brush with milk & sprinkle it over remaining cheddar.
Step #13 Bake for 15 - 20 mins.
