Method:

1. Add flour, butter, chives, and cheese to the food processor. Add spice and salt. Mix until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs. Tip into a large bowl.
2. Create a well in the center. Add the milk mixture and Dijon. With a flat-bladed knife, stir until it is incorporated. Utilize your hands to mix into a dough. Place the dough on an area lightly sprayed with flour. Make sure to knead until it is smooth gently. Don’t over-knead. Spread dough out till 2.5cm thick.
3. Make use of a 6.5cm circle cutter dusted in flour to cut Scones. Make a ball of dough, knead it lightly, pat dry, and cut additional Scones. Grease the holes of the pie maker using butter. Place scones in the greased holes. Serve with bacon. Close the lid to cook for 10 minutes or until the bacon is puffed and golden.
4. Take them out and repeat the process with all remaining bacon and scones. Serving alongside Western Star Spreadable.
