Equipment

  • 1 large mixing bowl
  • 1 pastry blender
  • measuring cups
  • measuring spoons
  • 1 large skillet to fry bacon
  • 1 Rolling Pin
  • 1 biscuit cutter or glass
  • 1 large cookie sheet pan or large glass baking dish

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups UNBLEACHED all-purpose flour (bleached flour toughens baked goods)
  • 4 tbsp. granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp. baking powder
  • 2 tsp. salt
  • 2/3 cup coconut oil or substitute butter or shortening
  • 1 1/2 cups sharp cheddar cheese shredded
  • 1/2 cup green onions diced
  • 9 slices Applewood-smoked bacon cooked
  • 1 1/2 cups 2% milk (I use 2%)
  • 4 tbsp. unsalted butter melted

Instructions
 

  • Cook bacon in a large skillet over low to medium heat.
  • Be careful not to cook on too high a heat so the bacon doesn't scorch.
  • Transfer cooked bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  • When cook break the bacon up into small pieces; set aside.
  • Mix flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large mixing bowl.
  • Cut coconut oil (or butter) into mixture with a pastry blender until worked through the dough.
  • Add cheese, onions and bacon pieces and stir to combine.
  • Add milk and stir until mixture is wet.
  • Sprinkle flour generously on countertop and add biscuit mixture.
  • Sprinkle with more flour.
  • Work flour into dough with your fingers, then knead a minute or two, adding additional flour, until mixture is no longer doughy.
  • Roll or pat out into a circle about 1-2 inches deep.
  • Don't flatten the dough too much.
  • Cut with a biscuit cutter.
  • Place biscuits on a cookie sheet that’s been sprayed with cooking spray.
  • Melt butter.
  • Brush butter on tops of biscuits.
  • Bake at 450° for about 10-15 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Brush biscuits with melted butter again when they come out of the oven.

Notes

NOTE: If you make your biscuits one to two inches thick, they need to cook a little longer than flatter biscuits so they are not doughy in the centers.
 
NOTE: Don't be heavy handed with the rolling pin. You don't want the biscuits to turn out tough like hocky pucks. Make sure the dough is between one and a half and two inches in depth before cutting biscuits with a biscuit cutter or glass.
