Step-by-Step Instructions for Black Pepper Cheddar Bacon Biscuits
  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cook the diced bacon in a skillet over medium-high heat for about 6–8 minutes until crispy. Drain on paper towel.
  3. Mix the dry ingredients: flour, cheddar cheese, parsley, baking powder, black pepper, salt, baking soda, and garlic powder.
  4. Grate the frozen butter into the flour mixture and incorporate until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. Pour in the buttermilk and stir gently until a soft dough forms. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Flour your surface, turn out the dough, and knead gently 3–4 times. Roll into a rectangle about 1¼ inches thick.
  7. Cut out biscuit rounds using a 2-inch cutter and place them close together on the prepared baking sheet.
  8. Chill the cut biscuits in the freezer for about 15 minutes.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 14–17 minutes until golden brown. Serve warm.
