By charlotteh371

Ingredients

• 3 cups all purpose flour
• 1 tbsp. baking powder
• 2 tsp baking soda
• 2 tsp kosher salt
• 4 tsp granulated sugar
• 1 stick cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
• 1 cup (6oz) crumbled crispy bacon
• 1/2 cup crumbled dry blue cheese, or, gorgonzola
• 1/4 cup finely chopped parsley
• 1 1/2 cups buttermilk

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar. Add the cold butter pieces to the flour mixture, roughly mix with a wooden spoon, making sure not to break up or soften the butter. Add the bacon, blue cheese and parsley, and toss until evenly mixed.
Pour 1 cup buttermilk into the flour mixture, and gently stir with the wooden spoon. Stir in the remaining 1/2 cup buttermilk until the dough comes together. Do not overmix.

With a large ice cream scoop, spoon 10 heaping mounds of dough on the prepared baking sheet, gently pressing down with the scoop while releasing the dough onto the baking sheet.Bake for 7 mins. Turn the oven temperature down to 325 and bake until the biscuits are golden brown, about 18 additional minutes. Let cool on the pan for 5mins before serving.
