Description
A recipe for savory biscuits featuring bacon, cheddar cheese, and fresh chives.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda.
- Cut the cold butter into the flour mixture using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, and chopped chives.
- Pour in the buttermilk all at once. Mix gently with a fork until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently pat or roll the dough to about 3/4 inch thickness.
- Use a biscuit cutter to cut out rounds. Place the rounds on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
Notes
- For flakier biscuits, make sure your butter is very cold.
- You can brush the tops with melted butter immediately after removing them from the oven for extra flavor.
