Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2.25 cup all-purpose flour
- 2.5 tsp baking powder
- 0.25 tsp baking soda
- 1.5 tsp granulated sugar
- 0.75 tsp kosher salt
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 0.25 tsp black pepper freshly ground
- 6 tbsp unsalted butter, cold and diced
- 1.5 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 4 oz cooked bacon, crumbled
- 3 tbsp fresh chives, finely chopped
- 1.125 cup cold buttermilk
- 1 tbsp buttermilk for brushing tops
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Heat oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment.
- Cook bacon until crisp if not already cooked. Drain, crumble, and let cool.
- Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, salt, garlic powder, and pepper in a large bowl.
- Cut in the cold butter with a pastry cutter until pea-sized pieces remain.
- Stir in cheddar, crumbled bacon, and chives to evenly distribute.
- Drizzle in cold buttermilk and mix just until a shaggy dough forms; do not overwork.
- Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface. Gently pat to about 1 inch thick.
- Fold the dough over itself twice to build layers, then pat back to 1 inch thick.
- Cut rounds with a 2½-inch cutter, pressing straight down. Gently re-form scraps and cut again.
- Arrange biscuits 1 inch apart on the sheet. Brush tops with buttermilk.
- Bake 14–16 minutes until deep golden. Cool 5 minutes and serve warm.
Notes
Variation: Add 1 finely diced jalapeño with the chives for a gentle kick. For extra cheesy crusts, sprinkle a pinch of cheddar on each biscuit before baking. To freeze, cut unbaked biscuits and freeze on a sheet; bake from frozen at 425°F, adding 2–3 minutes.
