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.

Easy Cheddar Bacon Buttermilk Drop Biscuits Recipe

When making recipes like these in cast iron, don’t stress. If you don’t have a cast iron skillet, you can always use a similar size heavy bottomed baking pan like a 9 x 9-inch square pan or round pie pan, if you prefer. You can also prepare these drop biscuits side by side without touching on a baking sheet. In that instance, use a tablespoon to drop the biscuit dough onto the baking sheet. Each one will have its own unique shape. You can serve these biscuits stuffed with scrambled eggs and melted cheese for breakfast or, just as they are. They’re tasty enough to be served with any meal of the day.

How to Make the BEST Cheddar Bacon Buttermilk Drop Biscuits

Ingredients you’ll need to make homemade Cheddar Bacon Buttermilk Drop Biscuits: Self rising flour, shredded sharp cheddar cheese, cooked and crumbled bacon, paprika or cayenne, butter and buttermilk.
Kitchen tools you’ll need: Medium bowl, pastry blender, measuring cups and spoons, skillet for cooking the bacon, sharp knife and cutting board, cast iron skillet or similar for baking and an ice cream scoop.
These biscuits can be made into any size you like. That being said, smaller biscuits will take less time to bake and large biscuits will take longer. I use a 1/4 cup scoop for the biscuits in this recipe.
When dividing the biscuit dough, the main thing to consider is that it remains uniform for even baking.
You could adapt the cheese using another variety of cheese that you enjoy.
You can make the bacon one day in advance and have it ready to go to save time.
To lighten the calories, use turkey bacon and light cheese. You can also adapt using light butter.
These Cheddar Bacon Buttermilk Drop Biscuits are best baked and enjoyed. Should you have some leftover, wrap in foil and store chilled for up to 2 days. Reheat in single servings in the microwave.
