Instructions

Buttermilk Bacon Directions:

  • Prep: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Melt unsalted butter for brushing on 2" round cake pan and biscuits. Cook 3 -4 strips of Wright's thick-cut bacon until crispy, set on a plate upon paper towel to drain excess grease.
  • In a large bowl shift together add flour and baking powder and sea salt and mix well with a fork. Using a box cutter crate 1 1/2 sticks of frozen unsalted sweet cream butter into flour mixture. Using a fork gently mix butter into the flour. Chill in the freezer for 5 minutes.
  • Remove bowl of chilled flour mix and add chilled buttermilk and bacon. Using a large spoon gently mix buttermilk and flour together, make sure to scrape down sides of bowl as well.
  • Toss a bit of flour onto ya clean work surface and turn biscuit dough out onto work surface. Using a rolling pin roll the dough out. Then fold over once. Roll the dough out, again and again, fold it over. Do this four more times.
  • Then roll the dough out until it is 3/4" thick and cut out biscuits with a biscuit cutter. I use my trusty homemade tin can biscuit cutter.
  • This should yield 12 buttermilk biscuits. Make sure biscuits are touching. Bake for 15 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown.
  • Remove from oven and brush with melted butter.
  • Serve and enjoy.

  • Add chopped mushrooms.
  • Turn heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Season with fresh cracked black pepper.
  • Serve.
  • Note: If gravy becomes too thick add whole milk or heavy cream to thin it out.
