🧂 Ingredients

• 1 cup Cooked bacon

  diced (8-9 slices)
• 4 cups All-purpose flour
• 4 tsps Baking powder
• 1 tsp Baking soda
• 1 1/2 tsp Kosher salt
• 1 cup Sharp cheddar cheese

  shredded
• 3/4 cup Unsalted butter, frozen

  shredded
• 1 3/4 cups Buttermilk

  cold

Instructions

• 1 Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until crispy and brown,
  about 6-8 minutes. Drain on paper towels, once cooled dice into small pieces.
• 2 While the bacon is cooling shred the frozen butter using the large holes of a
  box grater into a bowl and place it back in the freezer.
• 3 Preheat the oven to 450ºF. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• 4 In a large bowl whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking
  soda, and kosher salt. Stir in the bacon and shredded cheese. Stir in the grated
  butter, breaking up any large clumps.
• 5 Make a well in the center of the flour mixture, pour in the buttermilk, and stir
  just until combined and a soft dough is beginning to form.
• 6 Pour the dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead 3 to 4 times until
  the dough comes together. Pat it out into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Cut the
  biscuits using a 2-inch biscuit cutter. Place them almost touching on the
  prepared baking sheet. Place the baking sheet in the freezer for 5-10 minutes.
• 7 Brush the tops of the biscuits with additional buttermilk. Bake for 15-18
  minutes or until golden brown.
