Preparation
Step 1
Heat the oven to 425 degrees.
Cook bacon until crispy. Remove from pan and drain on paper-lined tray. Remove all but 1 tablespoon of bacon fat and sauté the onion until cooked and caramelized about 5 minutes. Reserve the rest of the bacon fat to use for brushing the tops of the biscuits for enhanced flavor.
In a large bowl add the flour, baking powder, 1 teaspoon of salt and paprika. Mix to blend then make a well in the center of the bowl and add the milk, butter, bacon, onions and cheese. Mix gently with a wooden spoon. The dough will be wet and sticky. Using a 1/2 cup measure portion the batter onto a baking sheet, leaving an inch or so around each biscuit.
Brush some of the bacon fat on the top of each biscuit. Bake in the oven until the biscuits are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center of one comes out clean, 20 to 22 minutes.
