Recipe Introduction

These are absolutely wonderful for accompanying any meal, but if made one-third or one-quarter size (watch them carefully in the oven), they are a terrific little appetizer.

List of Ingredients

2 C Flour
1 T Baking powder
½ t Salt
½ C Shortening
1 C Milk ( plus less 1 Tablespoon )
½ C Cheddar cheese, shredded
¼ C Green onions, finely chopped
4 Slices of bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled



Recipe

Sift dry ingredients into a bowl. Cut in the shortening with a pastry blender. Add the milk, cheese, chopped onion and crumbled bacon, blending quickly, just until dry ingredients are moistened. A sticky dough will result.

Turn the dough out on a floured board. Flour your hands and knead the dough 3 or 4 times. Important: Do not overhandle biscuit dough.

Roll or pat to a ½-inch thickness. Cut with a 2-inch biscuit cutter. For soft-sided biscuits, place close together on a lightly greased baking sheet or in a lightly greased cast iron skillet (vegetable cooking spray works just fine). For biscuits that are crusty all around, place about an inch apart on a lightly greased baking sheet.

Bake at 450°F for 12 to 15 minutes.

Makes about 12 biscuits.
