Bacon-Cheese Biscuits

2 cups self-rising flour

1/2 cup shortening

1/2 cup (about 2 ounces) shredded Cheddar cheese

3/4 cup plus

2 tablespoons milk

1/4 cup chopped green onions

4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled

Combine flour and shortening; cut in shortening with a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add cheese, milk, onions, and bacon, stirring until dry ingredients are moistened. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead lightly 4 or 5 times.

Roll dough to 1/2-inch thickness; cut with a 2-inch biscuit cutter. Place on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 450 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes.
