White Lily Cheddar Bacon Biscuits

White Lily Cheddar Bacon Biscuits

I got this recipe from White Lily’s instagram and have modified it a bit since I never keep self-rising flour on hand and am too lazy to re-roll dough. 

Ingredients:

2.5 cups self-rising flour or

2.5 cups of flour

3.75ish teaspoons of baking powder

½ teaspoon salt

1 stick frozen butter

1 cup buttermilk

Can use milk with an acid as a replacement, such as a tablespoon of vinegar, a tablespoon of lemon juice or 5 grams of cream of tartar.

½ cup grated cheese

½ cup chopped bacon

Consider adding seasonings to the flour like garlic, paprika, or whatever you have that sounds tasty.

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 475, add all of your dry ingredients to a bowl if not using self-rising flour.
2. Grate butter into flour and gently toss to coat the butter.
3. Add bacon and cheese.
4. Make a well and add buttermilk, stir just until dough comes together.
5. Flour the surface and turn out dough, knead a couple times to form dough, coating the outside with a light layer of flour.
6. Roll out into a long rectangle and envelope fold, turn and repeat 2-3 times to create layers.
7. Roll dough into desired thickness and cut biscuits.
1. If you cut into squares this prevents you from having to re-roll the dough.
8. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove and brush tops with melted butter and enjoy.

 

Happy baking!
