Cheddar, Onion and Bacon Fingers are a delicious appetizer that is perfect for parties, game nights, or any casual gathering. These fingers are made with a savory blend of cheddar cheese, onions, and bacon, and they are a great way to satisfy your cravings for something salty and cheesy. These fingers are easy to make and can be prepared in advance, making them a great option for busy hosts who want to spend less time in the kitchen and more time enjoying the company of their guests.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 425°F.
2.	In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt.
3.	Cut cold butter into small pieces and add them to the bowl with flour mixture. Use a pastry blender or your fingertips to mix the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
4.	Add grated cheddar cheese, finely chopped onion, and crumbled bacon, and stir until everything is evenly distributed.
5.	Make a well in the center of the mixture and add milk. Use a wooden spoon or spatula to stir the mixture until it starts to come together and form a dough.
6.	Flour a clean surface and turn the dough out onto it. Knead it gently for a few minutes until it comes together and is no longer sticky.
7.	Use a rolling pin to roll out the dough into a rectangular shape, about 1/2 inch thick.
8.	Cut the dough into fingers, about 1/2 inch wide and 3 inches long.
9.	Place the fingers onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving some space between each one.
10.	Bake the fingers for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
11.	Serve the fingers warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
