Step 1

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.

Step 2

Grease cast iron skillet with bacon drippings or shortening and place in oven while it preheats.

Step 3

Cook the bacon to crisp, let cool & crumble; set aside.

Step 4

Mix together the flour and baking soda and cut the cold bacon fat or shortening into the mixture with a pastry blender, or two knives, until flour is crumbly.

Step 5

Add the bacon bits and enough of the buttermilk, just until flour begins to pull away from the sides of the bowl and a soft dough forms.

Step 6

Use a small scoop, or about 1/8 cup measure, to drop dough onto the prepared pan and bake for about 10 to 12 minutes, or until lightly browned.
