Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 biscuits
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup cold butter, cubed
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup cooked bacon, crumbled
- 3/4 cup milk
Instructions
- Preheat your waffle iron to medium-high heat and lightly grease the cooking surfaces with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until well blended and evenly distributed.
- Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dry ingredients.
- Gradually pour in the milk, stirring gently with a fork until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
- Scoop approximately 1/4 cup of the dough onto the preheated waffle iron. Close the lid and cook for 3-4 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
- Carefully remove the waffle biscuits using a heat-resistant spatula and transfer to a wire cooling rack.
- Repeat the process with the remaining dough, re-greasing the waffle iron as needed.
- Serve warm, optionally garnished with additional crumbled bacon or a sprinkle of fresh chives.
Tips
- Preheat Your Waffle Iron: Make sure to preheat your waffle iron to medium-high heat for optimal cooking. A well-heated iron ensures that your biscuits cook evenly and develop that perfect golden-brown crust.
- Don’t Overmix the Dough: When combining the milk with the dry ingredients, stir gently until just combined. Overmixing can lead to tough biscuits, so keep it light and airy!
- Grease Between Batches: If you’re making multiple batches, don’t forget to re-grease the waffle iron between each batch. This will help prevent sticking and ensure your biscuits come out easily.
- Customize Your Add-ins: Feel free to get creative! Swap out the bacon for cooked sausage or add in some chopped green onions for an extra flavor boost.
- Serve Fresh and Warm: These biscuits are best enjoyed fresh off the waffle iron. Serve them warm, garnished with extra crumbled bacon or a sprinkle of fresh chives for that extra touch.
