How to Make Bacon And Cheddar Cheese Biscuits
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Cook 4 slices of bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 4-6 minutes. Remove bacon and place on paper towels to drain.
- Reserve 2 tablespoons of bacon drippings.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 4 teaspoons baking powder, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon baking soda.
- Cut in 1 cup chilled vegetable shortening using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup buttermilk and the reserved bacon drippings.
- Add the buttermilk mixture, crumbled cooked bacon (reserve some for garnish), and 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese to the flour mixture.
- Stir gently until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently 2-3 times until smooth.
- Pat the dough into an 8-inch round. Cut into 8 wedges.
- Place wedges on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until biscuits are puffed and golden brown.
- Brush tops with melted butter and garnish with reserved bacon bits.
- Serve warm with scrambled eggs.
