Bacon Cheddar Biscuits Recipe

You’ll need some crumbled bacon, some cheddar, and if you have them in your backyard farm, green onions make a nice addition.

Ingredients:

2 cups flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 1/2 teaspoons salt

12 tablespoons) unsalted butter, cold and chopped or grated

1/2 cup buttermilk

1 egg

1 cup grated Cheddar

6 pieces bacon, cooked and crumbled

2-4 scallions, green parts only, thinly chopped

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.

Whisk dry ingredients together. Add butter and blend with pastry blender or in an electric mixer until you have a meal with lumps about the size of small peas.

Beat buttermilk and egg. Add the buttermilk mixture to the flour mixture and mix just until combined. Do not overmix. Lightly coat cheddar with dusting of flour and add it along with bacon and scallions to dough until just distributed. Do not overmix!

Dump out onto a well-floured board and knead 6-8 times. Press dough flat and cut with biscuit cutter or floured rim of a glass.
