Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 6 tablespoons unsalted cold butter, cubed
- 1 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
- 6 pieces smoked bacon, cooked and chopped
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg, beaten
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly coat with vegetable oil.
- Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Cut in the butter with a pastry blender, or use 2 knives, until the butter is the size of peas; stir in the cheese and bacon.
- Combine the buttermilk and egg in a small bowl. Add to the flour mixture just until incorporated. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and pat or roll the dough to 3/4-inch thickness; cut with a 3-inch round cutter, and place on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 12 to 14 minutes or until golden brown.
