Ingredients for Bacon And Onion Biscuits

  • 4 slices bacon, chopped
  • 1/2 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • All Purpose Flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Cream Of Tartar
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter
  • 1 cup milk

How to Make Bacon And Onion Biscuits

  1. Cook 4 slices bacon, chopped, and 1/2 medium yellow onion, chopped, in a large skillet over medium heat until bacon is crispy and onion is tender (about 8-10 minutes).
  2. Remove bacon and onion mixture from skillet, leaving about 2 tablespoons of bacon grease in the pan. Set aside and drain on paper towels.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 cup sugar.
  4. Cut in 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, using a pastry blender or your fingers, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. Stir in 1 cup milk, cooked bacon and onion mixture.
  6. Gently mix with a fork until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently 2-3 times until dough holds together.
  8. Pat or roll dough to 3/4 inch thickness.
  9. Cut dough with a 2-inch biscuit cutter or use a knife to cut into squares. Place biscuits on an ungreased baking sheet or into a muffin tin.
  10. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
  11. Serve warm and enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
