Ingredients for Bacon Cheddar Biscuits

  • All Purpose Flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
  • Cooked Bacon
  • Cheddar Cheese
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk

How to Make Bacon Cheddar Biscuits

  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Stir in the crumbled bacon and cheddar cheese.
  5. Gradually add the buttermilk, mixing gently until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.
  6. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead 8-10 times.
  7. Pat the dough into a 6x5 inch rectangle.
  8. Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to cut the dough into 9 equal rectangles.
  9. Place the biscuits about 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheet.
  10. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
