Instructions
Step 1
-Set your oven to 425* F and line a baking tray with parchment.
-Render the diced bacon until crispy, then add the kale and cook for 1-2 minutes or just until its wilted and slightly soft. Remove from heat and cool fully.
-Sift your dry ingredients, including the sugar, into a large bowl, then add the diced butter. Using your thumb, middle and pointer fingers, rub the butter into the flour using a motion as you would if snapping your fingers to create "shards" of butter. Work each piece quickly as you don't want the butter to get too warm.
-Once you have done this with all the butter you should have a very shaggy, uneven looking mixture. -At this point, add the cream, cheddar cheese and fully cooled bacon mixture. Using a spatula or gently working with your hands, mixt the ingredients to create a very loose dough. -Dump the dough onto a slightly floured work surface and shape into a neat disc. -Using your hands or a rolling pin, shape the dough into a disc that measures about 10-12 inches in diameter, then cut into 8 equal triangle shapes.
-Line up the cut pieces onto a baking sheet, brush with a bit of heavy cream then grate fresh parmesan cheese on top and bake for 12 minutes. -Cool for 15 minutes before serving.
