Ingredients

  • 6 slices bacon, diced, or bacon bits, to taste
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for a worksurface
  • 1 cup extra-sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley leaves, chopped
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, frozen and grated with the large holes of a box grater
  • 1 3/4 cups buttermilk

Directions

Step 1 –Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.

Step 2 –Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 3 –If using the bacon slices, in a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the slices until they are brown and crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a paper-towel-lined plate and drain the excess fat from the pan.

Step 4 –In a large bowl, combine the bacon, the flour, the cheese, the parsley, the baking powder, the pepper, the salt, the baking soda, and the garlic powder.

Step 8 –Use a rolling pin to roll the dough into a 1 1/4-inch-thick rectangle.

Step 9 –Cut out 14-16 rounds using a 2-inch biscuit or cookie cutter.

Step 10 –Place the biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet and freeze for 15 minutes.

Step 11 –Transfer the biscuits from the freezer and bake until they are golden-brown, about 14-17 minutes.

Step 12 –Serve warm.
