WEEKEND BACON CAKES






Every one has and ideal of lazy Sunday mornings ,family breakfast,tasty treats but all to often this means extra work for mum. Over the years I have devise a number of dishes which give the family a treat making Sunday breakfast special without mum having to get up early .

BACONCAKES
10 rashers of streaky bacon
8 oz self raising flour
pinch of salt
4 oz cheddar cheese
1 oz butter
150 ml milk
I table spoon of tomato ketchup or fruity brown sauce if you prefer

1. grill four rashers of streaky bacon until crisp then cut into small pieces
2. sieve together the flour and salt,rub in the butter until the mix resembles breadcrumbs., then add the crumbled bacon and three oz of the cheese.
3. Mix the milk with the ketchup and add to the mixture.
4. Mix to a soft dough then roll out in to a 7” circle brush with milk and cut in to eight wedges. Arrange the wedges on a greased and floured baking tray in a circle with the edges slightly overlapping then sprinkle on the remaining cheese.
5. Bake in the oven a 200 oC for 30 minutes. Cut the remaining bacon rashers in half ,roll up and place on a skewer and grill until crisp. When the cakes are done remove form the oven and garnish with the bacon rolls Split butter and eat warm. Makes eight,

I often serve these with roasted cherry tomatoes They also make a great cobbler style topping for a chicken stew.
