  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup bacon (cooked and chopped)

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease pan with cooking spray.
  • Whisk together flour, baking powder and salt. Cut in butter with a pastry cutter or blend into flour mixture with fingers until mixture resembles coarse meal. Pour buttermilk into measuring cup and add egg, then beat together. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients in bowl. Mix just until incorporated. Add 1-2 tablespoons of milk or buttermilk if necessary to make dough that is easy to handle but not sticky. Fold in bacon, cheese and chives.
