Feta & Bacon Scones

Ingredients

• 1 ¾ cups self raising flour
• 50g chilled butter, cubed
• 3 cooked bacon rashers, cut into small pieces
• 1 spring onion, finely chopped
• ¼ cup sundried tomatoes, finely sliced
• 1 egg
• 140mls cream
• 50g Feta
• Salt and pepper
• 1 egg, beaten

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C, fan bake.
2. In a food processor, blitz the flour and butter until a sandy, crumb texture forms. Pour into a mixing bowl.
3. To the flour mixture, add the bacon, spring onion, sundried tomatoes and seasoning. Stir to combine, then make a well in the centre. Add the egg and cream, then use a fork to first whisk then bring the dough together.
4. Turn out onto a floured surface, and sprinkle over 25g of the feta cheese. Bring together with your hands and form a ball. Use a rolling pin to flatten out to a 4-5cm depth.
5. Use a knife to cut the round into 8 wedges, then transfer to a lined baking tray, leaving space between each wedge. Brush with the beaten egg, then sprinkle over the remaining feta cheese.
6. Bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown and risen.
