🥘 Ingredients

8 items

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 0.75 cup Whole milk
• 1 cup Cheddar cheese (shredded)
• 0.5 cup Cooked bacon (crumbled)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh chives (chopped, optional)

📝 Instructions

10 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir to thoroughly distribute the dry ingredients.

3. Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the bowl. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

4. Pour in the milk and gently stir until the dough starts to come together. Avoid overmixing.

5. Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, and chopped chives (if using). Mix just until evenly distributed.

6. Lightly flour a clean work surface and turn the dough out onto it. Knead the dough gently 2-3 times to bring it together.

7. Pat the dough into a 1-inch-thick circle or rectangle. Use a biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass to cut out biscuits. Re-roll any scraps and cut out additional biscuits.

8. Place the biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between them for rising.

9. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the biscuits are cooked through.

10. Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm!
