- 1 cup cheddar cheese, grated
directions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees; grease a cookie sheet.
- Mix together dry ingredients.
- Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles cornmeal (it will clump when you squeeze it, then crumble quickly on its own).
- Mix in the bacon and cheddar until they are coated with the mixture.
- Add the wet ingredients.
- At this point you can roll and cut the scones into sixteen scones (triangles) or you can divide the dough into sixteen portions and shape them into a scone or biscuit shape by hand. They should be about 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch thick.
- Bake 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I live in NYC, and I'm currently alternating between being a graduate student and being a housewife. I love cookbooks (we've got 80 cookbooks in an NYC apartment), but I don't know that I've got a single favorite. Mostly, I like to look at the pictures, and then go ahead and make something up based on the ingredients in the house.
