Cheddar & Bacon Biscuits


Cheddar & Bacon Biscuits

2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and diced
4 ounces extra sharp cheddar (shredded or finely diced)
1/4 cup cooked and crumbled bacon
2 tablespoons green onions, thinly sliced
1 large egg
1 1/4 cups buttermilk

 
Preheat oven to 400 degrees and prepare a muffin pan by greasing each well. (Alternately, you can line the muffin pan with paper liners.) Set aside.

Combine the dry ingredients in the bowl of a food processor and pulse 2-33 times to blend. Add the cold butter and process for 10-15 seconds.

Add the cheese, bacon and green onions and pulse again. Add the egg and buttermilk and process for another 10-20 seconds until a soft dough forms.

Spoon batter (or use a scoop) into the muffin pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until lightly browned and a toothpick comes out almost clean (with a few crumbs attached.) Serve warm.
