Bacon Bits Biscuits

Ingredients:

325 g Bacon Bits (best bought from the Hungarian Deli)
700 g Flour
25 g Yeast
150 ml Milk
3 Egg Yolks
300 ml Sour Cream
½ tsp Pepper
½ tsp Salt

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 400 F.

Dissolve the yeast in the lukewarm milk. Make a dough from the flour, bacon bits, egg yolks, sour cream, milk & yeast mixture, and pepper and salt to taste. If the dough is too stiff, add a little more sour cream or milk. Cover and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 ½ hours.

Roll out the dough on a floury pastry board to 1 inch thickness. Make a lattice pattern on the dough with a knife, and cut circles with 2 in diameter cookie cutter. Place on a baking sheet and let it rise again for about ½ hour. Brush the top of the scones with egg yolks. Bake in the oven for 40 minutes or until biscuits are golden brown.
