Time 40m

Yield 18 biscuits

Number Of Ingredients 10

7 slices bacon
3 cups flour
3 tablespoons sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces or grated
1 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
1 cup buttermilk

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat, cook the bacon until crisp and brown. Transfer to paper towels and drain. Chop and set aside.
  • Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda in a large mixing bowl.
  • Using a food processor, pastry cutter, or fingertips incorporate the chilled butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Add the Cheddar cheese, fresh chives, and cooked bacon. Mix to distribute the ingredients evenly.
  • Add the buttermilk and stir just until moistened. Using 1/2 cup dough for each biscuit and using a cup measure or an ice cream scoop, drop the biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing the mounds about 2-inches apart.
  • Bake until the biscuits are golden brown on top, about 15 to 20 minutes or until a tester comes out clean. Serve the biscuits warm with melted butter.

Transfer to paper towels and drain. Chop and set aside. Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda in a large mixing bowl.

Bake until the biscuits are golden brown on top, about 15 to 20 minutes or until a tester comes out clean. Serve the biscuits warm with melted butter.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Ingredients: Opt for high-quality, fresh ingredients. Use real butter (not margarine) for a richer flavor. Select sharp cheddar cheese for a bold taste. Use fresh chives, as they provide a more vibrant flavor than dried ones.
  • Properly Measure Ingredients: Use measuring cups and spoons to ensure accurate measurements. Incorrect measurements can lead to an imbalance in flavors or improper texture.
  • Chilling the Dough: Chilling the dough before baking is crucial. This step helps firm up the butter, resulting in flakier biscuits. Make sure to chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before cutting and baking.
  • Don't Overwork the Dough: Avoid overworking the dough, as this can result in tough biscuits. Handle the dough gently and work it just enough to combine the ingredients.
  • Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to the recommended temperature before baking the biscuits. A properly preheated oven ensures even cooking and helps the biscuits rise properly.
  • Bake Until Golden Brown: Keep an eye on the biscuits while they're baking. Remove them from the oven when they are golden brown on top and have slightly risen.
