Cheddar cheese and bacon go together like bread and butter. The sharp, acidic flavor of cheddar and the smoky, salty flavors of bacon combine harmoniously to delight the taste sensations. These ingredients take the simple biscuit to a whole new level of taste when coupled with a flaky biscuit. Bacon, Cheddar Biscuits are a remarkable option for any event because they combine the warm tastes of breakfast with the attraction of cheese.
ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 6 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
- 1 tablespoon honey
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
- Add the cold cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon, distributing them evenly throughout the mixture.
- In a separate bowl, combine the buttermilk and honey. Pour the buttermilk mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead it a few times until it becomes cohesive.
- Roll out the dough to a thickness of about 1 inch. Use a biscuit cutter or a round glass to cut out biscuits, placing them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Gather the remaining dough scraps and repeat the process until all the dough is used.
- Bake the biscuits for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top and cooked through.
- Remove the biscuits from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving.
