Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 5 tablespoons shortening
• 1 cup grated Cheddar cheese
• 4 slices bacon, or more to taste

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).

Step 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.

Step 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.

Step 4

Drop heaping tablespoonfuls on an ungreased baking sheet.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Serve immediately.
