These Cheddar Bacon Buttermilk Drop Biscuits are a cinch to make because instead of rolling and cutting them into rounds, an ice cream scoop is used to divide the dough. They're filled with cheddar cheese and lots of crumbled bacon. Baking them in a cast iron skillet, gives them crisp golden bottoms and soft, golden tops.

Other Biscuits Developed for White Lily
I truly loved my time serving as an Ambassador for White Lily Flour. It gave me the opportunity to share about our beloved house bread of the South, and create recipes using their fabulous product. While we most often serve savory biscuits in the South, there's always room for a a sweeter version much like an English scone. You may like to try my recipe for 7Up Biscuit Cinnamon Rolls and Cinnamon Swirl Raisin Biscuits.

Hi Melissa,
Can i make the dough in the foodprocessor, on pulse for example? I hope so cos of an illness i’ve no strength in my arms, hands, legs and feet. So making the dough by hand isn’t possible for me. But i loooooooove southern recipes just like this biscuits. They’re right in my alley. We don’t have that kind of food in my country. I’m born and raised and still live in the Netherlands, Europe. I hope to hear from you.
Have a great day Melissa.
With love,
Marja
Melissa
Hi Marja, sure you can use a food processor to mix if that works better for you. Thanks so much for visiting from the Netherlands!

We don't have White Lily brand flour here in Minnesota. Can I use another brand or make my own (I have the recipe for it somewhere!) Thank you! These look so good.
Melissa
Hi Janet, you can use any other brand of self-rising flour you like to make these biscuits.
