Welcome to the Taste Creations blog hop! On the first Monday of the Month, my blogging friends and I get together to share recipes along a specific theme. Our theme this month is bacon! For my bacon recipe, I chose to make cheddar biscuits with bacon and chives. Yummy!
Cheddar Biscuits with Bacon & Chives Recipe
(If you’d like to skip to the recipe at the end of this post, scroll down to the recipe card.)
For my recipe, I chose to use the Bacon Cheddar Chive Biscuits recipe by Damn Delicious. I wanted to make cheddar and bacon biscuits, but I didn’t have a recipe of my own. So I chose a recipe by Damn Delicious. Chungah of Damn Delicious has the best recipes. Her blog is a fun read.
I would up making two versions of this recipe. One daughter doesn’t eat bacon. So when I made these biscuits, I took out about a fourth of the dough before I added in the bits of bacon. That way, my daughter could enjoy her biscuits without the bacon.
These biscuits are buttery and flaky, with a hint of chive. The bacon adds a savory element to these mouthwatering biscuits.
The recipe was easy to make. You do have to plan ahead — I was halfway through making the recipe when I realized that I needed frozen butter. I don’t know how I missed that! You also need space in your freezer – after you cut out the biscuits from your dough, you need to freeze them awhile before putting them into the oven. I simply covered my baking sheet with foil and placed the baking sheet (with the biscuit rounds on top) on the top shelf of my freezer.
Despite my faux pas, the recipe came out great – my family all happily enjoyed their cheddar biscuits with bacon and chives!
To cut the biscuits, I used the cute stainless steel biscuit cutters that my friend, Carrie of Curly Crafty Mom, gave me. (Thanks, Carrie!)
I forgot to take a photo while using my biscuit cutters this time, but the below is a photo of one of my new biscuit cutters when I baked a super simple biscuit recipe recently. (I obviously love my new biscuit cutters. You can find similar biscuit cutters
If you don’t have biscuit cutters, you could use a round cookie cutter possibly, or a glass.
