Ingredients
Method
Cut the butter into cubes and keep cold. Put all the dry ingredients in a medium bowl and rub
the cold butter until you have lumps no bigger than peas. Toss in the cold bacon to coat with
flour and break up clumps.
Stir in the liquids until a soft dough forms. Scoop out each scone with an ice cream spoon
(60g) and place on a tray lined with parchment paper.
Brush with egg wash.
Bake at 170C/gas mark 3 ½ for 15 minutes, drizzle with maple syrup and bake for 4 more
minutes.
Small Contribution. Big Impact.
The Staff Canteen has always been more than a website—it’s a community, built by and for hospitality. We share the wins, the challenges, the graft, and the inspiration that keeps kitchens alive.
We believe in staying open to everyone, but creating this content takes real resources. If you’ve ever found value here—whether it’s a recipe, an interview, or a laugh when you needed it most—consider giving just £3 to keep it going.
A little from you keeps this space free for all. Let’s keep lifting the industry, together.
