Prep Time30 Minutes

Cook Time15 Minutes
Ingredients
8 Tbs unsalted butter, very cold
4 cups all purpose flour
2 Tbs granulated sugar
4 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
1 1/2 cups crispy bacon, chopped
1 cup green onions, thinly sliced
2/3 cup plus 4 Tbs heavy cream, cold (divided)
flaky sea salt
Directions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Grate the cold butter on the large holes of a cheese grater. Place the grated butter in the freezer for 10 minutes to firm up.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, garlic powder and onion powder. Add the butter. Toss to coat, lightly working it into the mixture until evenly distributed. Stir in the cheese, bacon and onions. Make a well in the center. Pour in 2/3 cup of the cream. Stir just until the dough comes together. Freeze for 15 minutes.
- Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Press into an 8-inch round about one inch thick. Cut with a 3-inch round biscuit or cookie cutter, reworking the scraps as needed. Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet. Freeze for 10 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 425° F. Brush the tops with the remaining cream. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes until golden-brown.
