For the Biscuit Bites
250g self-raising flour
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp sea salt
½ tsp garlic powder
1 tsp smoked paprika
75g cold butter, diced
120ml buttermilk
120g mature cheddar, grated
2 roasted jalapeños, finely diced
5 rashers smoked streaky bacon, cooked until crisp and finely chopped
2 spring onions, finely sliced

30g butter, melted
1 clove garlic, finely grated
1 tsp chopped fresh parsley

Extra grated cheddar
Method
Preheat your air fryer to 180°C.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, sea salt, garlic powder and smoked paprika.
Rub the cold butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
Stir through the grated cheddar, diced jalapeños, crispy bacon and spring onions.
Pour in the buttermilk and gently mix until a soft dough forms. Don't overwork it.
Divide the dough into 10–12 equal portions and gently roll into balls.
Place the biscuit bites into the air fryer basket, leaving a little space between each one.
Air fry for 10–12 minutes, until risen, golden and cooked through.
Mix together the melted butter, garlic and parsley.
Brush the hot biscuit bites generously with the garlic butter as soon as they come out of the fryer.
Serve warm with BBQ meats, chilli, pit beans or simply alongside plenty of smoky butter.
