Servings: 8 3-inch biscuits
Ingredients
- 2 cups self-rising flour
- 1 1/2 tbsp sugar
- 1 2/3 cups heavy cream divided
- 6 to 8 slices bacon cooked and crumbled
- 3/4 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 tbsp heavy cream for brushing the tops
- Butter for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a medium mixing bowl, sift together the self-rising flour and sugar.
- Make a well in the center of the flour mixture.
- Add 1 1/2 cups heavy cream to the well.
- Using a fork, gradually mix the cream into the flour mixture until the dough is just moistened.
- Add the shredded sharp cheddar cheese and cooked crumbled bacon.
- Gently mix until the cheese and bacon are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- If the dough appears dry, add the reserved heavy cream 1 tbsp at a time, mixing gently after each addition.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface.
- With floured hands, gently pat the dough into a rough circle approximately 3/4 inch thick. Do not knead the dough.
- Dip a 3-inch biscuit cutter in flour.
- Cut the dough into biscuit rounds, pressing the cutter straight down.
- Place the biscuit rounds onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them approximately 2 inches apart.
- Brush the tops of the biscuits with the additional 2 tbsp heavy cream.
- Bake for 12 to 14 minutes, or until the biscuits are puffy and golden.
- Remove the biscuits from the oven.
- Serve hot with butter.
Notes
To make these Cheezy Bacon Cream Biscuits gluten free, replace the self-rising flour with a certified gluten-free self-rising flour blend.
If using a plain gluten-free all-purpose flour blend, add gluten-free baking powder and salt to create a self-rising flour substitute.
Verify that the bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, heavy cream, sugar, and butter are labeled gluten free.
Check the bacon carefully, as some flavored or processed varieties may contain gluten-based additives or cross-contact warnings.
Use a clean gluten-free work surface, biscuit cutter, mixing bowl, fork, baking sheet, and parchment paper to prevent gluten cross-contact.
Handle the gluten-free dough gently, as gluten-free biscuit dough may be more delicate and may not rise exactly the same as traditional biscuit dough.
