Hayden’s Nan’s Bacon, Cheese and Onion Biscuits
Hayden from our Marketing team has shared one of his Nan’s recipes – which make for a great savoury treat in the cold winter months. Stored in an airtight container, they should last for several days.
Ingredients
-
2 cups flour
-
1 tablespoon baking powder
-
1 teaspoon onion powder
-
1 teaspoon paprika
-
1 teaspoon salt
-
1 cup milk
-
1/2 cup butter, melted
-
8 pieces bacon, cooked until crispy, chopped
-
1 cup grated cheddar cheese
-
1 egg
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 220 degrees Celsius.
-
In a large bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, salt, paprika, and onion powder.
-
Make a well in the centre of the mix and add the milk, butter, chopped bacon and cheese. Mix gently with a wooden spoon. Don’t worry if thedough is wet and sticky – it’s meant to be!
-
Using a 1/4 cup measure or ice cream scoop, portion the batter onto a non-stick baking sheet. Leave 2cm or so around each biscuit.
-
In a small bowl, beat the egg with a splash of water and then brush this mixture on the top of each biscuit.
-
Bake in the oven for around 20 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown.
TIP: If you’re not sure if they’re done, insert a toothpick in the centre of a biscuit – if it comes out clean they’re ready to eat. Careful, though, they’ll be hot!
