Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Cut in cold butter using a pastry cutter, fork, or your hands.
In a separate small bowl, combine egg and ¾ cup buttermilk. Add this to the flour mixture, and stir to combine. It should form a heavy, sticky dough.
Add cheese, bacon, and sliced onions, and stir to combine.
Form dough into a flat round disc, about 8 inches in diameter, on your baking sheet. Cut into 12 triangles.
Brush top with remaining 1-2 T. buttermilk, and sprinkle with shredded cheddar to garnish.
Bake at 375 for 20-22 minutes, until slightly brown on top.
