Ingredients
•
4 slices bacon, or more to taste
•
2 cups all-purpose flour
•
1 tablespoon baking powder
•
1 teaspoon baking soda
•
1/2 teaspoon salt
•
5 tablespoons shortening
•
1 cup buttermilk
•
1 cup grated Cheddar cheese
Directions
1
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
2
Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels. Let cool enough to handle; crumble.
3
Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl and cut in shortening until it resembles coarse crumbs. Add buttermilk and stir just enough to form a ball. Fold in crumbled bacon and Cheddar cheese.
4
Drop heaping tablespoonfuls on an ungreased baking sheet.
5
Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Serve immediately.
