Substitutions And Additions
CHEESE: You can use your favorite type of cheese in place of the cheddar in these delicious biscuits. Some great options are provolone, Swiss, Colby jack, or Monterey jack. If you want to add a little spice, you could also try pepper jack.
BACON: You can make your own bacon and chop it yourself or use store-bought bacon bits instead in this cheddar biscuit recipe.
MILK: While 2% milk works best for these cheddar cheese biscuits, you could also use low-fat milk or whole milk.
How To Make This Bacon Cheddar Biscuits Recipe
STEP ONE: Preheat the oven to 425°F.
STEP TWO: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
STEP THREE: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt.
PRO TIP:
Use a sifter to get out any clumps in the flour and to aerate the ingredients.
STEP FOUR: Add in melted butter, chives, and milk to the dry ingredients. Stir well to mix.
OUR RECIPE DEVELOPER SAYS
When melting the butter in the microwave, remove it from the butter wrapper, place it in a small microwave bowl, and place a paper towel over the top of the bowl. This helps contain any butter splatter.
STEP FIVE: Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and bacon pieces just until mixed.
STEP SIX: Using a large cookie scoop (¼ cup size) scoop out the biscuit dough onto the parchment paper making 12 biscuits about 1 inch apart.
STEP SEVEN: Bake for 15 to 17 minutes until the tops are lightly browned.
PRO TIP:
Oven temperatures vary and may need to be recalibrated periodically to ensure they are accurate. Make sure to check your biscuits at the lower end of the recommended baking time.
STEP EIGHT: Using a small bowl mix all topping ingredients together and spoon evenly over the tops of each warm biscuit.
STEP NINE: Let the biscuits cool for about 10 minutes on the baking sheet before removing them as they’ll continue to bake a bit on the warm tray after you remove them from the oven.
STEP TEN: Serve these savory biscuits warm.
