Bacon Cheddar Chive Biscuits

Ingredients

7 slices Indiana Kitchen thick-cut bacon

3 cups flour

1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

1 cup buttermilk

3/4 cup cold unsalted butter

3 tbsps sugar

4 tsps baking powder

1 1/2 tsps salt

1 tsp baking soda

1/4 cup chopped fresh chives

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a skillet over medium heat, cook bacon until crisp. Transfer to paper towels and drain excess grease. Chop into small pieces.

3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

4. Using a food processor, combine butter with the dry ingredients until it resembles a coarse meal. Add in cheese, chives, and bacon. Mix.

5. Stir in buttermilk until moistened. Using a measuring cup or ice cream scoop, drop 1/2 cup of batter at a time on to the lined baking sheet, spacing the batter about 2 inches apart so the biscuits have room to expand as they bake.

6. Bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown. Remove from oven and serve warm.
