Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/3 cup shortening
- 4 strips of bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1/3 cup finely chopped green onion
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
- 2/3 cup milk
Instructions:
-
Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high temperature will ensure that your biscuits get a perfect golden-brown crust.
-
Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and baking powder. These are the base ingredients that will give your biscuits their structure and flavor.
-
Cut in the Shortening: Using a pastry blender or two knives, cut the shortening into the flour mixture until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. This step is crucial for achieving the flaky texture of your biscuits.
-
Add Bacon, Green Onion, and Cheese: Stir in the crumbled bacon, chopped green onion, and shredded cheese. These ingredients add a burst of flavor and a savory twist to your biscuits.
-
Incorporate the Milk: Gradually pour in the milk and mix until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overwork the dough, as this can make the biscuits tough.
-
Knead the Dough: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead it gently 8-10 times to bring it together, but avoid over-kneading to maintain the light texture of the biscuits.
-
Roll and Cut: Roll the dough out to approximately 3/4 inch thickness. Use a biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out your biscuits. Place them on an ungreased baking sheet, ensuring they are close but not touching.
-
Bake: Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top. The baking time may vary slightly depending on your oven, so keep an eye on them.
-
Serve Warm: Allow the biscuits to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm with butter, jam, or your favorite spread.
