Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 450°F (232°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking these delicious biscuits.
-
-
Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the crumbled bacon, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and blue cheese. Stir gently to mix all ingredients thoroughly.
-
Cut in Shortening: Add the vegetable shortening to the dry mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut in the shortening until the mixture resembles small peas.
-
Incorporate Buttermilk: Gradually stir in the buttermilk, mixing until a soft and slightly sticky dough forms.
-
Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Knead it gently a few times to create a smooth ball, being careful not to overwork it.
-
Roll the Dough: Roll the dough out to about 1/2 inch thickness, ensuring even consistency for all biscuits.
-
Cut Out Biscuits: Using a two-inch cookie cutter, cut out rounds from the dough. Gather any scraps and reroll to cut out more biscuits.
-
Prepare for Baking: Place the cut biscuits onto an ungreased cookie sheet, leaving some space between each for proper baking.
-
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and have risen beautifully.
-
Serve: Once baked, remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving warm. Enjoy your delightful Blue Cheese Biscuits with family and friends!
These Blue Cheese Biscuits are sure to be a hit at your next gathering, bringing a burst of flavor and comfort to your table. Happy baking!
