* Serves 4
What do I need?
- 225g self-raising flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 40g chilled butter, cut into cubes
- 40g Parmesan (plus a little extra for the top), grated
- 4 rashers of back bacon, grilled and chopped
- 1 tbsp pesto
- 125-150ml milk
How do I make it?
- Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/gas mark 6. Sieve the flour and baking powder into a large bowl.
- Rub in the butter with your fingertips until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Stir in the Parmesan and bacon.
- Mix the pesto into the milk, then gradually add the milk to the flour using a knife to mix together until you have a dough.
- Tip out onto a floured work surface and gently knead. Divide into seven balls.
- Take a baking tray lined with baking paper and place one of the balls in the centre. Then place the other six balls around it to make a flower shape with six petals. Squash the balls together slightly so they join up.
- Sprinkle over the extra Parmesan and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden and cooked through.
- Allow to cool, pack in an airtight container and refrigerate until needed. Break into rolls to serve.
