Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 0.75 cup Whole milk
• 1 cup Cheddar cheese (shredded)
• 0.5 cup Cooked bacon (crumbled)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh chives (chopped, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir to thoroughly distribute the dry ingredients.

Step 3

Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the bowl. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Pour in the milk and gently stir until the dough starts to come together. Avoid overmixing.

Step 5

Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, and chopped chives (if using). Mix just until evenly distributed.

Step 6

Lightly flour a clean work surface and turn the dough out onto it. Knead the dough gently 2-3 times to bring it together.

Step 7

Pat the dough into a 1-inch-thick circle or rectangle. Use a biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass to cut out biscuits. Re-roll any scraps and cut out additional biscuits.

Step 8

Place the biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between them for rising.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the biscuits are cooked through.

Step 10

Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm!
