Method
- Preheat the oven to 200C/fan180C/gas 6. Grease the base and sides of a 450g loaf tin and line the base with baking paper.
- Snip 4 slices of bacon into strips and dry-fry in a pan until crisp, then cool.
- Meanwhile, put the flour, baking powder, salt and mustard powder into a bowl and stir. Add the cheese, bacon, egg, milk and parsley. Stir well with a wooden spoon until it has a soft dropping consistency – add extra milk, if needed.
- Spread in the tin, add the remaining slices of bacon on top of the loaf and bake for 25-35 minutes, until risen, golden brown and just firm to the touch. Serve warm or cold, with butter and cheese, if you like.
