This post bought to you by White Lily Flour ~ I have truly loved being chosen as an Ambassador for White Lily Flour this year. It’s given me the opportunity to share about our beloved house bread of the South. Biscuits. I call these Cheddar Bacon Buttermilk Drop Biscuits biscuits because instead of rolling and cutting them into rounds I use an ice cream scoop to scoop the dough into the cast iron skillet. Filled with cheese and lots of crumbled bacon after baking in cast iron they form a crispy golden crust on the bottom of the biscuits with golden tops.

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 says
Hi Janet, you can use any other brand of self-rising flour you like to make these 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

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!
