Ingredients
- 2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper (ground)
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 0.75 cup low-fat buttermilk
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 4 slice turkey bacon (cooked and finely chopped)
- 0.5 cup scallions (thinly sliced)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.
- Stir in sharp cheddar cheese, cooked turkey bacon, and scallions until evenly coated in the dry flour mixture.
- Pour in melted unsalted butter and low-fat buttermilk. Stir with a wooden spoon or spatula just until a soft, shaggy dough forms, taking care not to overmix.
- Drop 8 equal mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each biscuit.
- Bake for 12 to 14 minutes until the biscuits are golden brown on top and firm to the touch. Serve warm.
Notes
Baked biscuits keep well in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in a toaster oven for 3 minutes for crisp edges.
