Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups Yellow cornmeal
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cups Cooked bacon, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons Fresh sage, finely chopped
- 0.75 cups Whole milk
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cups Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt.
Cut the cold unsalted butter into small cubes and add it to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to incorporate the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the crumbled cooked bacon, chopped sage, and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix until evenly distributed.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, honey, and egg until well combined.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, stirring gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently pat or roll it out to a thickness of about 1 inch.
Use a round biscuit cutter (about 2.5 inches in diameter) to cut out biscuits. Gather any scraps, reshape, and cut out additional biscuits as needed.
Place the biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each one.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. These biscuits are best served warm.
