Anything with bacon in it is a winner in our home. These bacon and onion biscuits are buttery, bacony (ya it's a word), and pretty much perfect with a comforting bowl of soup.
Here's how I made them:
4 slices of bacon, chopped into half-inch pieces
1/3 cup onion, finely diced
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp granulated white sugar
1/2 cup cold butter, cut into cubes
3/4 cup milk (I use whole milk)
While my oven preheated to 400 degrees (F), I cooked the bacon and onion in a small saucepan over medium heat until the bacon was crispy. Then I set it aside to cool a little while I prepared the dough.
My biscuits went onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and I popped them in the oven for 15 minutes until golden and flaky.
Bacony. Oniony. Good.

looks great Amy, sadly I'd have to use turkey bacon or something gross since the hubby is off the pork (WAAAAAAA)
ReplyDeletei can smell those through the monitor. holy goodness... yummmm something i'll have to try as bacon is a major winner in this household. :) xo
ReplyDeleteOh sweet jesus those look delish!
ReplyDeletedrool - these look awesome. They wouldn't last in my house for five minutes.
ReplyDeleteThose look like HEAVEN! Dang, wish Reg ate bacon damn it!
ReplyDeleteOh they look so good, Amy! It's funny but I've never done biscuits in my life.. I think I will now!!
ReplyDeleteKisses!
Ummm...yep....just drooled on my computer. These look amazing!!!!
ReplyDeleteI just made these! I think I rolled them out too thin, as they didn't puff up as high as yours look -- but the flavor is totally there. I think next time I'll got with a little more onion too! Gotta love the bacon/onion combo! Thanks for sharing!!!
ReplyDeleteI just made them too and mine are in the same condition. I don't think it is the rolling. I cooked my onions in some butter and then added the bacon. I dumped the mixture in with the milk. I think it may have been the extra hot fat that somehow canceled out the baking powder. Once I mixed the ingredients, I put the bowl in the fridge before rolling it out. Mine are more of a savory cookie than biscuits. The next time I will try to strain the bacon and onions before adding them the dry ingredients.
DeleteWanted to know if you have ever stored these in the freezer? I love them so much I could eat them every morning, it would be awesome to be able to freeze a huge batch so they are always on hand.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Hmmm... I've never eaten a baked, frozen then thawed biscuit, so I couldn't say if you'd be sacrificing quality. I wonder if the best way to do it would be to freeze the cut biscuits before they're baked, then pop them in the oven from frozen? That way you could bake just the amount you need. I like the look of Modern Beet's 3-step process for freezing homemade biscuits described here: http://www.modernbeet.com/archives/116
DeleteThese biscuits look amazing! I'll have to give them a try. :)
ReplyDeleteAbout how many is in one batch? Would like to try for a family get-together next month, but will need to make sure I make enough.
ReplyDeleteIt depends what size you cut them. With a 2-inch cutter, you'll get 12-18.
DeleteOh my wonder if these would be good with honey butter on them? hmmmmm
ReplyDeleteJust like scones. This looks really fabulous, and I'm thinking about making them for dinner to go with the Autumn Spice Ham that I was planning. (When I make biscuits and scones, I usually pat the dough into a square and use a knife to cut it. No waste and no tough little nuggets from overworked dough.) (See, this is why I could never be a food blogger--I'm okay with square biscuits. Obviously I don't care enough about how the food LOOKS.) (Your pictures are really great, by the way.)
ReplyDeleteThese have to be good topt with an over easy egg!!!o my yumm...How many does the recipe make?

ReplyDeleteHave you tried adding cheese to these???
ReplyDeleteI haven't, no, but a little grated aged Cheddar in there would be nice.
