Method

Biscuit Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

  2. 2

    Cut in Butter

    Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the unsalted butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

  3. 3

    Add Milk

    Gradually pour in the milk, stirring until the mixture just comes together. Do not overmix.

  4. 4

    Fold in Fillings

    If using, gently fold in the shredded cheese, crumbled bacon, and chopped green onions until evenly distributed.

  1. 5

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).

  2. 6

    Shape Biscuits

    Turn the dough onto a floured surface and pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Cut out biscuits using a round cutter or a glass.

  3. 7

    Place on Baking Sheet

    Transfer the biscuits to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, placing them close together to encourage rising.

  4. 8

    Brush with Butter

    If desired, brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter for added flavor.

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
