INSTRUCTIONS
In a skillet, cook the onion in the reserved fat over moderately low heat,
stirring, until it is softened; let mixture cool. In a small bowl combine
the onion mixture with the finely minced (do this in a food processor)
bacon; season with freshly ground pepper. Into a bowl, sift together the
flour, the baking powder, the baking soda, and the salt. Add the shortening
and blend the mixture until it resembles coarse meal. Stir in the bacon
mixture and the Cheddar; add the milk and stir the mixture until it just
forms a soft sticky dough. Drop the dough by rounded tablespoons onto a
buttered baking sheet. Bake the biscuits in the middle of a preheated 425
oven for 15 to 17 or until pale golden brown. Makes about 16 biscuits.
