Cheddar Bacon Buttermilk Biscuits
Servings: 9
Ingredients
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
- 4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter grated
- 4 strips cooked bacon chopped into little pieces
- ¼ cup of shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup cold buttermilk
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl combine the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda and pepper and stir to combine.
- Using a box grater, grate the butter into the dry mixture.
- Add the chopped bacon and cheddar cheese.
- Then place the entire bowl into the freezer for a few minutes just to keep the butter cold and chill the dry ingredients.
- After about 10 minutes, remove the bowl from the freezer and add in the buttermilk. Carefully stir the mixture until everything comes together.
- Turn the dough out onto a clean, lightly floured cutting board and using your hands, gather it into one large mass.
- Tear of roughly 1/2 cup pieces of dough and carefully mold them into messy looking round. (drop biscuit style) Repeat this for the remaining dough and line them on a parchment lined baking sheet, making sure not to put them too close to one another since they spread a touch when baking.
- Place the entire baking sheet into the fridge and chill for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 450° F.
- Place the baking sheet in the hot oven and bake until the biscuits are lightly golden brown, about 15-18 minutes. Serve warm! And with maple butter if you have some or can buy some.
