Bacon Cheddar Garlic Biscuits (adapted from Epicurious)
Ingredients
6 slices thick bacon
3 3/4 cup flour
1 1/2 tablespoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter cut into 1/2 inch cubes
2 1/2 cups grated cheddar cheese (I just used one package of Kraft shredded cheddar cheese)
1 teaspoon minced garlic (about 2 cloves)
1 3/4 cups buttermilk
Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees
2. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper
3. Cook the bacon until crispy. Move to a paper towel to drain. Coarsely chop
4. Mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt
5. Cut the butter into the flour mixture (I usually just use my hands for this part) until it resembles coarse meal
6. Stir in 2 1/4 cups of the cheese, bacon, and garlic
7. Slowly stir in the buttermilk in 3 or 4 additions, combining the mixture with your hands in between each addition. The batter will become sticky
8. Using floured hands, drop approximately 1/2 cup of batter for each biscuit onto the baking sheet. Space mounds 2 inches apart (you should be able to fit 6 biscuits on each sheet). Sprinkle remaining cheese on top of the biscuits
9. Bake for 18-20 minutes, rotating pans halfway through, until tester inserted into middle of biscuit comes out clean
10. Transfer biscuits to a rack to cool completely
