This is a recipe I snagged from a Bed N' Breakfast in Saugatuck, Michigan years ago. Delicious. Ingredients:
2 cups flour |
2 teaspoons baking powder |
1/2 tsp salt |
1/4 cup cold butter |
3 eggs, divided |
1/2 cup half and half |
1 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese |
3 slices center cut bacon, crisply cooked, crumbled |
1 teaspoon chopped fresh chives |
1 tablespoon water |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 425F.
2. Mix flour, salt and baking powder in large bowl. Cut in butter with 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add 2 of the eggs and the cream; beat with wire whisk until well blended. Add to flour mixture; stir just until moistened. Stir in cheese, bacon and chives. Shape into ball.
3. Knead dough on lightly floured surface 10 times. Roll out to 12 x 6 inch rectangle. Cut into 3-inch squares; cut each square diagonally in half. Place on lightly greased baking sheet. Beat remaining egg and the water with wire whisk until well blended; brush over dough triangles. Bake 14-16 minutes or until lightly browned. Serve warm
