1/4cupreal bacon bits (about 4 slices of cooked bacon, chopped)
1/4cupgreen onion or chives, sliced
3/4cupmilk
Instructions
In a medium sized bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Cut in the shortening with a pastry blender until pea size chunks.
Fold in the cheese, bacon bits, and green onion.
Add milk and mix until everything is wet.
Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead 4 times, then flatten to a disc about ¾-inches thick. Flour your biscuit cutter, then cut biscuits and place them on a prepared baking sheet with pan spray or a silicone baking mat. Press dough scraps together without overworking the dough, and continue cutting biscuits until all the dough is used; this recipe yields 8 biscuits.
Bake biscuits at 450 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown around the edges.
