2 c. flour
1 tbsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1/4 c. shortening
5 slices crisp bacon, crumbled
1/4 c. finely chopped scallions
1/2 c. shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 to 3/4 c. milk

Mix flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in shortening until mixture is crumbly. Add bacon, cheese and scallions. Blend in enough milk to make a soft dough. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently 30 seconds. Roll out to 1/2 inch thick. Cut and place on ungreased baking sheet. Bake in preheated 450 degree oven, 10 to 12 minutes or until lightly browned. Makes 12 biscuits.
