Number Of Ingredients 9

2 1⁄2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for work surface
1⁄4 cup granulated sugar
1 Tbsp. baking powder
1 tsp. kosher salt
6 Tbsp. (3oz.) cold unsalted butter, cubed
4 oz. sharp cheddar cheese, shredded (about 1 cup)
6 hickory-smoked bacon slices, cooked and finely chopped
1 large egg
1 cup whole buttermilk

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 450 ̊. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper (or lightly coat with vegetable oil). Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Cut in butter using a pastry cutter (or using 2 knives) until butter resembles size of peas. Stir in cheese and bacon. Whisk together egg and buttermilk in a small bowl. Add to flour mixture; stir until just incorporated. 2. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll dough to 3⁄4-inch thickness. Cut into rounds using a 3-inch round cookie cutter. Place dough rounds on prepared baking sheet (spaced 2 inches apart). Reroll dough scraps; cut rounds, and add to baking sheet. Bake biscuits in oven until golden brown, 12 to 14 minutes.
