½ pounds Bacon
Vegetable Oil
1 Egg -- lightly beaten
¾ cup Milk
1¾ cup All-Purpose Flour
¼ cup Sugar *
1 tablespoon Baking Powder
1 cup Cheddar Cheese, Wisconsin --

1. Cook the bacon until crisp. Drain on paper towels. Measure the drippings; and add vegetable order to make ⅓ cup, if needed. Combine drippings with egg and milk and set aside. Crumble the bacon and set aside.

2. In a large mixing bowl, stir together the flour, sugar and baking powder. Make a well in the center and add the dripping/egg mix all at once. Stir until just moistened; the batter will be lumpy. Lightly fold in the crumbled bacon, cheese and cereal.
