Description

Directions

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Fry the bacon in a pan until crispy. Then drain and reserve 2 tablespoons drippings. Chop the bacon into small pieces.
• In a jug, add the milk and lemon juice, stir and let sit for 5 minutes.
• Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and bacon in a bowl.
• Rub the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles large breadcrumb texture.
• Stir in the cheese. Add the milk mixture and reserved bacon drippings and gently mix until just combined, and loose in texture.
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and very lightly knead 4 to 5 times, until it comes together. **** Make sure you do not over knead as this will make the biscuits tough and chewy.
• Roll out to 1/2 inch thick, then cut out biscuits using a floured 2-inch-round cutter.
• Place the biscuits on an ungreased baking sheet. Reroll the scraps and cut out more biscuits. Brush the tops with melted butter.
• Bake the biscuits until golden brown, about 15 minutes. Serve warm.
