Ranch Cheddar Bacon Biscuits
These ranch cheddar bacon biscuits take my original basic butter biscuits up a notch, and you will only need a few more ingredients to make these flavorful, addictive biscuits.
Servings: 6 servings
Calories: 494kcal
Ingredients
- 2 cups all purpose flour , packed (self-rising flour is not recommended due to the overage of saltiness)
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 ounce ranch seasoning
- ½ cup butter salted, cut in small pieces (if using unsalted, add ¼ teaspoon salt)
- 1 cup milk regular or buttermilk
- 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
- 6 slices bacon , lean, cooked, crumbled
Instructions
- Cook your bacon first, then set aside to drain and cool on a paper towel lined plate.
- Shred your cheese. (It's best to use freshly shredded, but not absolutely necessary.)
- In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and ranch dressing mix.
- Cut the butter in small pieces and add to the flour mixture and combine with your hands or pastry blender until crumbly.
- Pour in cheese, milk, and bacon crumbles and combine with a wooden spoon until well incorporated, taking care not to over mix.
- Turn out onto a floured surface and roll out dough to ¾ to 1-inch thick. Cut out biscuits with biscuit cutter or cookie cutter.
- Add each biscuit to an ungreased cookie sheet or iron skillet. In order to promote more rise during baking, allow biscuits to touch in the pan.
- Bake for 10-20 minutes in preheated 400 degree oven (or until browned).
- Makes 10-12 biscuits.
