Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 3 Cups all purpose flour
  • 1 Tbsp baking powder
  • 1 Tsp salt
  • 2 Tsp sugar
  • 1/2 Tsp garlic powder
  • 10 Tbsp butter (frozen and grated)
  • 1/2 Cup monterrey jack cheese (shredded)
  • 1/2 Cup cheddar cheese (shredded)
  • 10 Slices bacon (cooked and crumbled)
  • 1 Cup heavy cream (plus 1/4-1/2 cup more as needed to bring dough together)

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Cook bacon until crisp and crumble or chop into small pieces.
  • In a large bowl whisk or sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and garlic powder.
  • Using the tips of your fingers, a pastry blender, or fork mix the butter into the flour mixture. Dough will be crumbly at this point.
  • With a fork, mix the cream into the flour/butter mixture and work just until dough comes together and forms some large clumps.
  • Add cheese and bacon. Using your hand mix bacon and cheese into dough by pressing the dough against the side of the bowl until everything comes together.
  • Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Pat dough into a large round.
  • Using a knife, cut dough in half, and pat each half into a 7 inch round by 3/4 inch thick.
  • Slice each round into 8 wedges.
  • Place wedges 1/2 inch apart on a baking sheet and lightly brush each wedge with heavy cream.
  • Bake for 20-23 minutes, until golden brown.
  • Allow to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
