BACON CHEDDAR BISCUITS

I promise you’re not seeing things! I’ve had a few requests for some savory recipes on the blog, so today we’re going a little savory with these homemade bacon cheddar biscuits.

I’ve had the idea for these bacon cheddar biscuits ever since I shared my homemade buttermilk biscuits recipe. Because what’s not to love about anything with bacon and cheddar?
If you’ve ever felt intimidated when it comes to making homemade biscuits, I promise they’re not too difficult. I’ve broken everything down that you need to know along with step-by-step pictures so you can create super tall, flaky, buttery homemade biscuits!

Ingredients

• 2 cups (250 grams) all-purpose flour (spooned & leveled)
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 6 tablespoons (85 grams) cold unsalted butter, cubed
• 3/4 cup (70 grams) shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup (45 grams) crumbled bacon (about 8 slices)
• 3/4 cup (180 ml) cold buttermilk plus more for the tops of the biscuits

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 450°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and set aside.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt until well combined.
3. Add the cubed cold butter and cut into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter (you may also use a food processor for this step) until you have small pea-sized pieces of butter. Then, whisk in the shredded cheese and crumbled bacon. 
4. Pour the cold buttermilk into the mixture and gently work it together until the dough starts to come together.
