Bacon And Cheese Biscuits

• 2 cups (500 ml) all-purpose flour
• 1 Tbs (15 ml) baking powder
• 1 tsp (5 ml) baking soda
• 1/2 tsp (2 ml) salt
• 5 Tbs (75 ml) cold butter cut into small pieces
• 1 cup (250 ml) buttermilk
• 2-3 slices bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled
• 1 cup (250 ml) grated Cheddar cheese
•  

Combine the dry ingredients in a bowl and cut in the butter using

a pastry knife or a pair of dinner knives until it resembles coarse

crumbs. Add the buttermilk and stir just enough to form a ball.

Fold in the bacon and cheese. Drop heaping tablespoonfuls on

an ungreased baking sheet and bake in a preheated 450F (230C)

oven until golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Serve immediately.
