Ingredients

  • 5 slices Bacon, cut into small pieces
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (Again with the all-purpose thing)
  • 1/2 cup butter or margarine, chilled
  • 1 egg
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 3 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1 dash ground black pepper
  • 1 egg yolk, beaten
  • Chocolate chips (Optional)
 

Directions

  1. Fry Bacon pieces in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon to paper towels, and cool completely. (Yeah you should know that by now, just makin Bacon)
  2. Into a large mixing bowl, place the flour, butter or margarine, egg, salt, and heavy cream. Using the mixer's hook attachment, mix the contents of the bowl together until combined; then transfer the dough to the counter, and quickly mix with your hands. Knead in cooled Bacon pieces and pepper.
  3. Roll up the dough into a log, to a diameter of about 1 1/2 inches. Wrap in aluminum foil, and refrigerate for 2 hours, until firm.

  6. Bake in a preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, until brown. Remove to a wire rack until cooled completely.
