Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.75 cup Milk
• 0.5 cup Cooked bacon (optional, crumbled)
• 2 tablespoons Chopped parsley or chives (optional, for garnish)
• 1 as needed Nonstick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your hands to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Gently fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon, if using.

Step 5

Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the milk. Stir gently until a soft dough forms, being careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Divide the dough evenly among the prepared muffin tin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. The dough will be thick, so use a spoon to press it into the cups.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the biscuit cups from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Step 9

Garnish with chopped parsley or chives if desired, and serve warm.
