Description

Start your morning off with these baked bacon-Cheddar biscuits that are delicious on their own or made into a breakfast sandwich.

Ingredients

4 slices bacon, or more to taste
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
5 tablespoons shortening
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup grated Cheddar cheese

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
2 Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels. Let cool enough to handle; crumble.
3 Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl and cut in shortening until it resembles coarse crumbs. Add buttermilk and stir just enough to form a ball. Fold in crumbled bacon and Cheddar cheese.
4 Drop heaping tablespoonfuls on an ungreased baking sheet.
5 Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Serve immediately.
