18 biscuits
ingredients
- 4 slices thick-cut bacon
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (plus more for dusting)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1⁄4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
- 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces (plus melted butter for brushing)
- 1 cup grated colby cheese
- 1 cup buttermilk
directions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- Cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp. Drain on paper towels and reserve 2 tablespoons drippings. FInely chop bacon.
- Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, chopped bacon, and chives in a medium bowl. Using a pastry blender or your fingers, work the butter into the flour mixture until it is in pea-size pieces. Stir in the cheese with a wooden spoon. Add the butter milk and reserved bacon drippings and gently mix until just moistened. The dough will be loose.
- Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead 3-5 times, just until it comes together. Don't overknead or biscuits will be touch. Roll dough to 1/2" thick, then cut out biscuits using a floured 2" round biscuit cutter. Arrange on an ungreased baking sheet. Reroll dough scraps and cut out more biscuits.
- Bake biscuits until golden brown, 12-15 minutes. Serve warm.
