Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tbsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp baking soda, and 1 tsp salt. Add 6 tbsp cold cubed unsalted butter and use a pastry cutter or fingers to blend until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Step 2: Stir in 3/4 cup cold buttermilk until just combined, then fold in 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese. Do not overmix to keep biscuits tender.
- Step 3: Turn dough onto a floured surface and gently pat into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Use a 2.5-inch round biscuit cutter to cut 8 biscuits. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment.
- Step 4: Bake biscuits for 12-15 minutes until golden brown and puffed. While baking, cook 4 slices bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
- Step 5: Split warm biscuits in half, drizzle 2 tbsp honey on the bottom halves, layer with 2 slices crispy bacon each, and top with biscuit halves. Serve warm for a sweet and savory bite.
