  • 120g mahon, thinly sliced
  • 150g smoked pancetta, cut into 1 cm cubes
IN STOCK
  • 10g chives, finely cut
  • 160 ml milk

Method:

  1. Preheat to 220°C/200°C fan or gas mark 7. 
  2. Line an oven tray with baking paper 
  3. Fry the pancetta cubes until slightly browned. Once cooked, set aside to cool down.  
  4. Sift the flour and baking powder into a mixing bowl.  
  5. Using clean fingertips, rub the butter into the flour until it resembles breadcrumbs. 
  6. Add the cubed Mahon, pancetta and chives. 
  7. Gradually stir in the milk to form a soft dough. 
  8. Sprinkle the rolling pin and a clean, dry surface with flour and roll out the dough until it is 3cm thick. 
  9. Cut the dough into 5cm rounds and place on the lined oven tray. 
  10. Collect any dough ‘trimmings’ together and roll out again. Cut out the remaining rounds. You should be able to make 12  scones. 
  11. Brush the scones with a little milk and place the sliced Mahon over the top of the scones 
  12.  Bake for 10–12 minutes, until the scones have risen and turned golden on top. 

Little tip:

Try to handle the dough as little as possible or the scones can turn hard and rubbery. 

When cutting out the scones, don’t twist the cutter as this will the make the scones rise unevenly, it is best to cut straight down.

PAELLA VALENCIANA
PAELLA VALENCIANA

Paella Valenciana is the original paella, deeply rooted in the traditions of Valencia. Its name comes from the Valencian word for pan, reflecting the dish’s humble beginnings when it was cooked outdoors over a wood fire. The classic recipe brings together chicken, rabbit, beans, saffron and rice, with each ingredient adding its own character without overpowering the rest. A truly great paella is crowned with the socarrat - the golden, caramelised crust at the base of the rice. In Valencia, it’s still enjoyed the traditional way: eaten straight from the pan with wooden spoons.

CIDER-GLAZED CHISTORRA CHORIZO
CIDER-GLAZED CHISTORRA CHORIZO

Enhance flavour-packed chorizo by poaching it in cider, a classic Asturian tapa. For a twist, try using chistorra - a long, thin Basque chorizo. Cut into 2cm pieces, fry until the skin colours, then cover the chistorra with cloudy cider and simmer. The longer it cooks, the richer and more glaze-like the sauce. Serve with plenty of bread; your guests will want to mop up every drop of the sauce.
