Cheese and bacon scones
A savoury scone with cheese and bacon - what's not to love! The recipe is really simple too.Unlike fruit scones, the mix is wetter and therefore baked in a muffin tin. Does this make them #scoffins or #scuffins?
Method
- Set up your Egg for an indirect cook at 200°C. Place your stainless grid on your convEGGtor and then place the baking stone on top of them. You need all of these to preheat.
- Grease a 12-hole muffin tin.
- Fry the bacon for 5 minutes, until golden. Let it cool down, then chop into small chunks and set aside.
- Mix your flour, salt and baking powder in a bowl.
- Add the butter cubes and mix with the tips of your fingers until you've rubbed it into fine crumbs. I do this by hand but you could use a food processor.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the milk, oil and egg. Tip into the dry ingredients and mix gently until combined (you'll still have some lumps).
- Stir in the the bacon, cheese and chives. Spoon the mix into the muffin tin (it's a wetter mix compared to fruit scones).
- I had some spare grated cheese and sprinkled this over the top of the scones.
- Pop the muffin tin onto the hot baking stone and cook for about 20 minutes until the tops are golden brown.
To serve
- Serve them warm
