Buttermilk Biscuits with Bacon and Cheddar

I love buttermilk biscuits. In fact, biscuits and gravy is probably my favorite breakfast dish.

Today, I made mini biscuits and added bacon crumbles and cheddar to the mix. Biscuit recipes are quick and easy, but the quality of ingredients really makes a difference. I used Niman Ranch applewood smoked bacon and Tillamook sharp cheddar. Together with White Lily all-purpose flour and Plugra butter, they made some light, fluffy, buttery biscuits that were crisp around the top and crunchy browned on the bottom.

Here's a close up of the inside of a biscuit. I made square biscuits about an inch and a half across. They're the perfect size for snacking on, but I sacrificed some of the height that make big biscuits so appealing.

I used Mark Bittman's recipe from How to Cook Everything. I'll post details if someone will promise to make it and send me photos!

Since my biscuits are always slightly disapointing, with a light baking soda flavor, I can promise to make them. But as I am also mildly a Luddite, I can't promise to figure out the digital camera to photograph them.

I don't see how I can refuse you a recipe after reading an admission like that. Will so soon!

I'd love to try the recipe and photo grah our results. I'd love to have the kids do a video if that will post too. We need some a great winter stick-to-the-ribs biscuit recipe here in SC. Yummy!
