Time 28m

Yield 25 serving(s)

1 1/2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon dry mustard
1 egg, beaten
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup bacon drippings, saved from frying the bacon

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  • Fry bacon until crisp.

Tips:

  • Ensure accurate measurements: Precise measurements are crucial for successful biscuit balls. Use a kitchen scale for dry ingredients and measuring cups for wet ingredients to achieve consistent results.
  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, high-quality ingredients contribute to the overall flavor and texture of your biscuit balls. Opt for unsalted butter and buttermilk for the best results.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough can result in tough, dense biscuit balls. Mix the dough until just combined, avoiding overdevelopment.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough allows the butter to solidify and distribute evenly, resulting in flaky, tender biscuit balls. Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking.
  • Bake the biscuit balls until golden brown: Keep an eye on the biscuit balls while they bake to ensure they reach a beautiful golden brown color. This indicates that they are cooked through and ready to enjoy.
