Savory Bacon and Cheese Biscuits

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

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
3. 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.
4. Gently fold in the crumbled bacon and shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.
5. Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the milk. Stir until just combined; be careful not to overmix.
6. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it gently a few times until it comes together.
7. Roll out the dough to a 1-inch thickness. Use a biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits, placing them on the prepared baking sheet.
8. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
9. Serve warm and enjoy the delightful combination of flavors!
