Cheese and Bacon Biscuits

BISCUITS:

Ingredients:

2 cups all-purpose flour

2 1/2 tsp. baking powder

1/2 tsp. baking soda

1/3 cup margerine

1 cup cheddar cheese, grated

6 slices bacon or bacon bits ( I use onion chopped very fine )

1 cup plain yogurt



Directions:

Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda in a mixing bowl.

Cut in margerine until it resembles a course meal.

Stir in cheese & bacon or (chopped onion ).

Add yogurt, stirring just to moisten.

Turn out on slightly floured surface and knead 10-15 times to form a smooth dough.

Roll out into a 8" square and cut into rectangles.

Place onto a cookie sheet. Bake at 450F for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown.

Number Of Servings:  Depends on how big or small you cut them.

Footnote: These are so good with a hearty homemade soup; real comfort food, especially in the cold Winter months. I cut them in the traditional rounds, rather than in rectangles. I don't always have bacon in the house so quite often I use the chopped onion, as I always have a basket of them sitting on the counter.
