Ingredients
100g Butter
2-3 rashers
275g self-raising/wholemeal flour mix (I am going to try oats/wholemeal flour mix in this recipe next time)
½ teaspoon of baking powder
150mls milk
50 ml olive oil
1 egg
Handful of snipped chives (optional)
150g grated cheese
Method
1. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan and grease a 12-hole muffin tin. Grill the bacon. Let it cool, then chop into small pieces and set aside
2. In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and 1 tsp sea salt. Using your fingers, mix the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles breadcrumbs
3. In a small bowl, whisk together the milk, oil and egg. Tip into the dry mixture, and gently mix until the flour mixture is mostly moistened (lumps will remain). Stir in the bacon, chives and cheese, then spoon the batter into the muffin tin.
4. Put the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 15-20 mins or until the tops are golden brown.
