Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.75 cup Milk
- 0.5 cup Cooked bacon (optional, crumbled)
- 2 tablespoons Chopped parsley or chives (optional, for garnish)
- 1 as needed Nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your hands to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Gently fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon, if using.
Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the milk. Stir gently until a soft dough forms, being careful not to overmix.
Divide the dough evenly among the prepared muffin tin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. The dough will be thick, so use a spoon to press it into the cups.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the biscuit cups from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Garnish with chopped parsley or chives if desired, and serve warm.
