Ingredients

  • 6 slices bacon
  • 3 3/4 cups bread flour
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons baking powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons salt
  • 1/2 cup chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
  • 2 1/2 cups packed coarsely grated sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/3 cup chopped fresh chives
  • 1 3/4 cups chilled buttermilk

How To Make cheddar, bacon and chives biscuits

  • Step 1
    Position rack just above center of oven and preheat to 425 degrees. Line heavy large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Step 2
    Cook bacon in heavy large skillet over medium heat until crisp and brown. Transfer bacon to paper towels to drain, then chop coarsely.
  • Step 3
    Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in processor; blend 5 seconds. Add butter cubes. Blend until coarse meal forms, about 30 seconds. Transfer flour mixture to large bowl.
  • Step 4
    Add cheese, chives and bacon; toss to blend. Gradually add buttermilk, stirring to moisten evenly (batter will feel sticky).
  • Step 5
    Using lightly floured hands, drop generous 1/2 cup batter for each biscuit onto prepared baking sheet, spacing batter mounds about 2 inches apart.
  • Step 6
    Bake biscuits until golden and toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 18-20 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes, serve warm.
