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