Ingredients
- 2 cup White Lily Self-Rising Flour
- 1/4 tsp smoked paprika or cayenne
- 1/2 cup cold butter cubed, plus 2 Tbsp melted
- 6 slices bacon cooked and crumbled
- 1 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

- Preheat the oven to 450°F. Brush the sides and bottom of a 10-inch cast iron skillet with melted butter, reserving some butter to brush the tops.
- In a medium size mixing bowl use a whisk to sift together flour and cayenne.
- To the bowl add the butter. Cut the butter into the flour and paprika using a pastry blender until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Mix in the bacon and shredded cheddar cheese. Make a well in the center and add 1/2 cup of buttermilk.
- Mix with a fork adding more buttermilk until it forms a soft dough and pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
