Bacon-Cheddar and Chive Drop Biscuits

Bacon-Cheddar and Chive Drop Biscuits

These little treasures are so good.  I would even serve them for breakfast!

 They also can be made in about 20 minutes (including bacon cooking time).

Yum!

Makes 12

8 oz bacon

2 cups AP flour

1 Tbs sugar

3 tsp baking powder

1 tsp salt

8 Tbs (1 stick) butter, cut into small pieces

2 cups sharp cheddar cheese

1/2 cup chives, minced

fresh black pepper

1 cup buttermilk (or use 1 cup milk with Tbs of white vinegar)

Preheat the oven to 425

 

 In a large pan fry up the bacon. Cook over medium heat turning often. When cooked drain on paper towel.  Then crumble the bacon.

 

In a large mixing bowl combine all the dry ingredients.  Add the butter.

 

 Cut the butter into the flour with a pastry cutter or two forks.

 

Add the cheese, and toss with the dry ingredients.

 

Add the bacon and the chives and a little fresh cracked black pepper and toss.

Make a well in the center of the ingredients and add the milk.

Combine until the dough just comes together.

 Divide into 12 balls and just drop them onto a baking sheet.

Bake the biscuits 10-12 minutes or until cooked through and golden.

Serve warm with butter!
