Plus, they’re quick. You can do the whole thing in under 30 minutes. You just use a measuring cup to shape the dough into biscuits,  then drop them on a cookie sheet, no rolling needed, which is definitely a time-saver.

INSTRUCTIONS:

Cook the bacon ahead of time. I like to bake it at 400F on a cookie sheet for about 20 minutes until crisp. When the bacon is done, turn the oven up to 475F for the biscuits.

Now go ahead and melt the stick of butter so it has time to cool before you mix it in.

Combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, sugar, and salt into a large mixing bowl.

Whisk until the ingredients are evenly distributed.

Chop the bacon into 1/2 inch strips. There will be lots of crumbly bits — that’s great – use it all!

Toss the bacon and cheese into the dry ingredients and mix.

In a separate bowl, add one cup of buttermilk, and pour in the melted butter (it should be close to room temperature at this point). The butter will start to clump up in the cold buttermilk — don’t worry, that’s normal.

Pour the butter/buttermilk mixture into the dry ingredients, and mix with a spatula, just until it all comes together.

Scoop out the dough with a lightly oiled 1/4 cup measuring cup. It is the perfect size, and also will make a nice disc shape. You can fit 3 across on a cookie sheet (12 total). They’ll spread, but just a little bit. I use an ungreased silpat to line the cookie sheet.

Cook them for about 12 minutes, until they start to brown. And voila!
