Bacon Cheddar Muffins

As strange as it sounds-- these muffins remind me of yardsales. When I was little my dad would make these when he needed my sister and I up early, awake and filled with sustenance. They now serve as great Sunday morning surprises when we have guests stay over. 

• 8 slices of bacon
• 2 cups AP flour
• 2 tablespoons white sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 1/2 cups shredded old Canadian cheddar cheese
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 cup milk
• 3 tablespoons butter, melted

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. 
2. Cook bacon until crisp. Drain well, reserving 1 tablespoon drippings.
3. In a large bowl combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt, stir in cheese and cooked bacon.
4. In a small bowl combine egg, milk, butter and reserved bacon drippings.
5. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and stir until moistened.
6. Divide batter among six large 3 inch greased muffin cups (Cups will be very full).
