- 10 slices thick-cut bacon
- 1 cup finely diced onion
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 3⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 4 tablespoons butter, cubed and chilled
- 10 tablespoons milk
- 4 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 egg

directions
- Preheat oven to 375°F Grease a standard muffin tin.

- Saute the onion in the reserved bacon grease until translucent and beginning to brown, about 5 minute Transfer to a bowl.
- Chop the cooled bacon and add to onion.
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. Using two knives, a pastry cutter, your fingertips, or the food processor, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture is crumbly and there are no pieces of butter larger than a pea.

I'm a 48 y/o gay Jewish man in the suburbs immediately north of New York City. I'm a general internist, practicing and teaching at a medical college north of NYC. I also earned a Masters in Public Health degree in 2013.
After a Walt Disney World trip in Dec 2006 where I had to rent an electric scooter because I couldn't manage the walking, I decided to have gastric bypass surgery, which was done Feb 28, 2007. I lost 160 lbs (though I've gained back about 60 of that since). I can't eat as much as I used to, so I want every bite to be extra good!
