Описание: Do you love biscuits...and bacon...AND CHEESE!!!! Well, hold your horses! I have just the recipe for your next breakfast round up treat! Say it with me... BACON AND CHEDDAR BUTTERMILK BISCUITS!!! Woo hoo! Not only are these super tasty, they are also pretty easy to make, and your dad/husband/grandpa/uncle/partner will LOVE them for a special Father's Day breakfast!!

SAFETY REMINDER: If you are a kid, make sure to have an adult help you with anything like turning on the stove top or oven, using a mixer, or using a knife.

Ok, so...you don't like cheddar cheese? No problem! Use whatever kind of cheese you like...or none at all! And I suppose if you don't like bacon (THE HORROR!!!), you could always make these plain. (BACON BACON BACON!) No matter what you add- or don't add- this is a great biscuit recipe that you can transform in any way your heart desires.

If you make some biscuits, let me know how they turned out in the comments below. And send a pic if you can! Of course, I always appreciate when you like and subscribe.

Thanks for watching Tom's Tasty Treats!!

FULL BACON & CHEDDAR BISCUIT RECIPE
PREHEAT OVEN TO 400 F

IN A LARGE MIXING BOWL, STIR TOGETHER:
2 1/4 cups flour
1 TBL white sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking soda

GRATE OVER FLOUR MIXTURE:
1 stick of cold unsalted butter

USE A FORK AND KNIFE (or pastry cutter if you have one) TO CUT THE BUTTER INTO YOUR FLOUR MIXTURE. KEEP GOING TILL IT RESEMBLES A COARSE MEAL.

ADD TO FLOUR AND BUTTER MIXTURE:
1 cup cooked, medium diced bacon
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

STIR TOGETHER AND SET ASIDE.

IN A MEDIUM BOWL, WHISK:
1 large egg
1/2 cup buttermilk (or buttermilk substitute- recipe below)

ADD WET INGREDIENTS TO DRY INGREDIENTS, AND STIR JUST TILL INCORPORATED. FORM DOUGH INTO A BALL AND PRESS IT ONTO A LIGHTLY FLOURED SURFACE TILL IT'S ABOUT 2 FINGERS THICK (approx. 1").

USE A BISCUIT CUTTER OR KNIFE (ADULTS ONLY!!) TO CUT THE DOUGH INTO WHATEVER SHAPE YOU WANT. (DO NOT USE A GLASS. IT WILL SEAL THE EDGES AND PREVENT LAYERS FORMING IN YOUR BISCUITS.)

PUT THEM ON A BAKING SHEET. BAKE IN THE OVEN FOR 15-20 MINUTES UNTIL THE BISCUITS ARE GOLDEN BROWN.

BUTTERMILK SUBSTITUTE RECIPE
(YIELDS 1 CUP; TWICE THE AMOUNT YOU NEED FOR RECIPE ABOVE)
TO A MEASURING CUP, ADD:
1 TBL apple cider vinegar (or lemon juice)
1 cup (minus 1 TBL) whole milk or half and half

NO NEED TO ACTUALLY MEASURE YOUR MILK. ONCE YOU HAVE THE VINEGAR IN THE MEASURING CUP, JUST POUR IN YOUR MILK TILL YOU HIT THE 1 CUP MARK. STIR. LET SIT FOR ABOUT 5-10 MINUTES. THE VINEGAR WILL CAUSE THE MILK TO CURDLE AND BECOME SOMEWHAT THICK AND LUMPY.

NOW YOU CAN USE IT TO REPLACE THE BUTTERMILK!
