Cooking Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C) and have a pan heating on the stove top.

Cut up the Thick-Cut Bacon (2 slices) in small cubes.

Cook the bacon until nice and crispy. When most of the fat is rendered away turn off the heat.

In a large bowl, add All-Purpose Flour (2 cups) , Baking Powder (2 Tbsp) , Salt (1 pinch) , Sharp Cheddar Cheese (2 cups) and Fresh Thyme Leaves (2 tsp) .

Avoiding the fat, put the bacon bits in the flour mixture.

Add Butter (4 Tbsp) that has been cut into cubes into the flour mixture. Use your hands or a dough blender to mix in the butter into the flour.

Make a well in the middle of the flour and add 2% Reduced Fat Milk (1 cup) . Add a little at a time and gently fold in the flour until all the milk is inside. Start mixing with your hands just until everything is evenly incorporated.

Greese a pan with the leftover bacon fat. Transfer dough to a lightly floured board. Pat the dough down until its 1/4-inch think. Cut the dough with the rim of a drinking glass that lightly dusted with flour.

Place in the oven for 12 to 15 minutes.
