so as i have mentioned on facebook and twitter, this is my third night in a row baking. i will be honest as say that i didn't eat all of the stuff i baked but i have eaten/will be eating quite a bit of it. anyways so tonight i wanted something salty (last night i baked biscotti and cinammon buttermilk muffins). i decided to go with bacon, cheddar onion biscuits. i found a recipe on the pioneer woman last year and absolutely love it. i wanted to experiment with the recipe and, having baked cheddar garlic biscuits two weeks ago, i decided to switch up the onion with the garlic. best. decision. ever. i have already scarfed down two biscuits and am dying for a third but am trying to show some self-restraint. 

anyways here's the recipe (with adaptations) if you want to try. enjoy! i sure did :D

adapted from The Pioneer Woman 

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 3/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 cup vegetable shortening (i have used butter before and prefer that. i didn't this time cause i just finished it yesterday)
• 10 tbsp milk (i used 2%)
• 4 tbsp vegetable oil
• 1 egg
• 10 slices of bacon, fried and crumbled 
• 1 tsp garlic powder (i love garlic and these were garlicy. if you don't love garlic all that much reduce the amount you put it)
• 1 cup cheddar cheese

Prep Time!

Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Using a pastry cutter, cut in shortening (or butter) until all combined. 

Combine milk, oil and egg in a separate bowl. Whisk together.

Combine flour mixture, milk mixture, bacon, garlic powder and cheddar cheese in a large bowl. Stir gently until all combined.  

spoon batter into well greased muffin tins (since i am lazy, i used baking cups - yay for easy clean up!). Bake for 20-22 minutes at 375 degrees until golden. Remove form pan and serve warm.
