Instructions

De-rind the bacon and cut into small pieces (about a 1/4 square). Fry the
bacon until crisp and leave to cool. sieve together flour and seasonings.

Rub in the butter to resemble breadcrumbs. Stir in the thyme and bacon.
Add the liquid and stir with a knife to form a soft dough. Gently heat
the griddle or cast frying pan to form an even heat (test as before).

Turn the dough out on to a lightly floured surface and knead very gently.
Handle as little and as lightly as possible to keep the girdle scones
light. Roll into a cylinder shape about 3-4 inches in diameter and cut
off quarter inch thick slices. Up-end the slices to form circles. Grease
the griddle and cook the scones for five or six minutes on each side until
golden and cooked through. Serve hot with butter.

You can ring the changes with grated Cheddar and Rosemary, or garlic
sausage and chives.
