Ingredients
- All-purpose flour
- 2 cups
- Baking powder
- 1 tablespoon
- Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon
- Cold unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup, diced
- Cheddar cheese
- 1 cup, shredded
- Cooked bacon
- 1/2 cup, crumbled
- Milk
- 3/4 cup
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- Add the cold diced unsalted butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gently fold in the crumbled bacon and shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.
- Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the milk. Stir until just combined; be careful not to overmix.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it gently a few times until it comes together.
- Roll out the dough to a 1-inch thickness. Use a biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits, placing them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Serve warm and enjoy the delightful combination of flavors!
Tips
- For an extra kick, consider adding chopped jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the dough.
- Experiment with different types of cheese such as pepper jack or gouda for unique flavor variations.
- These biscuits are best served warm but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
