  • 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt (kosher or table salt)
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, very cold
  • 1/4 cup fresh rosemary, chopped

How To Make white cheddar, bacon, and apple biscuits

  • Step 1
    Preheat oven to 400 degrees (F). Line a large baking sheet with a piece of parchment paper; set aside.
  • Step 2
    In a large bowl combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and black pepper; whisk well to combine. Using a large cheese grater shred the butter into the dry ingredients; use two forks or a pastry cutter to work the butter into the mix, stopping when the mixture is a coarse meal. Stir in the rosemary, then add in the chopped apple, grated cheese, crumbled bacon and 1 cup + 3 tablespoons of the cream; stir with a fork just until a messy (sticky) ball is formed.
  • Step 3
    Turn the dough out onto a generously floured surface and knead (with floured hands) until the dough has been worked into a ball; about 6-7 times should do it. Pat the ball down into a 1" thick round, then use a biscuit cutter to cut out as many rounds as possible, re-rolling the scraps as needed.
  • Step 4
    Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, brush each one with a little of the remaining cream, and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve at once! These make excellent breakfast sandwiches.
