Bacon Cheddar Biscuits

Ingredients
  • 6 slices bacon
  • 2 1/4 cups self-rising White Lily flour
  • 8 tablespoons very cold butter cut into cubes
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk
  • 3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter.
Instructions
  1. Cook bacon until crisp. Let cool and then crumble. Reserve bacon fat.
  2. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Add 1 tablespoon bacon fat to a 9-inch cast iron skillet and swirl to coat the bottom.
  3. Place flour in a medium bowl. Add butter and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to cut it into the flour until it resembles coarse meal.
  4. Stir in buttermilk just until a dough starts to form. Stir in cheese and crumbled bacon.
  5. Turn dough out onto a floured surface. Roll dough into a rectangle, fold in thirds and rotate 90 degrees. Roll into a rectangle again, fold into thirds and roll out to 3/4-inch thickness.
  6. Use a floured 2 1/2-inch biscuit cutter to cut biscuits. Place in prepared pan. Roll dough scraps out to cut more biscuits.
  7. Bake in oven for about 20 minutes.
