Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 0.75 cup Whole milk
- 4 ounces Pancetta (diced)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh chives (chopped, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small skillet over medium heat, cook the diced pancetta until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the pancetta with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel. Set aside to cool.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir the cooled pancetta and chopped chives (if using) into the flour-butter mixture.
Pour the milk into the mixture and gently stir with a wooden spoon until the dough just comes together. Avoid overmixing.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it 3-4 times to bring it together. Pat the dough into a 1-inch thick rectangle.
Use a biscuit cutter to cut out rounds or a knife to cut square biscuits. Gently reshape and pat out the dough scraps to cut more biscuits.
Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm!
