Ingredients

4 cups self rising flour

1 tsp baking powder

½ cup vegan butter

Approx ⅔ cup milk (I used oat milk)

½ cup cheese - grated or in small cubes (I used Ilchester vegan blue cheese)

2 slices bacon (I used This Isn't Bacon Rashers)

5 cherry tomatoes - diced up

¼ onion - diced up

¼ green pepper - diced up

1 tbsp yellow mustard

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 200C. Add the flour and the baking powder in a large bowl and mix.

2. Add butter and rub with your fingers until the mix resembles bread crumbs. 

3. Gradually stir in the milk until the dough is smooth. Add the chopped up vegetables, cheese, bacon and mustard.

4. Sprinkle some floor on your surface and roll out the dough around 2cm thick.

5. Use a cookie cutter or a mug to cut out the scones.

6. Transfer to a baking tray lined with paper. Brush the tops with some milk.

7. Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown. Serve with chilli jam and salad.

Notes:

-When adding the milk, make sure you don’t add too much as the mixture will be too runny or too sticky to roll

-You can add any vegetables you desire in the scones as well as different vegan hams and cheeses. Or you can also leave them plain and then serve with butter and jam.

-When brushing the tops with milk, make sure it doesn’t drip down the sides, as this will make them rise unevenly.
