Ingredients

Biscuits

2¼ cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
½ cup salted butter melted
1 tablespoon fresh chives minced
1 cup milk 2%
1¾ cups medium cheddar cheese shredded
10 slices cooked bacon chopped

Topping

¼ cup unsalted butter melted
½ tablespoon fresh chives minced
1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
1 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425°F.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt.
Add the melted butter, chives, and milk. Stir well to mix.
Stir in shredded cheese and bacon pieces just until mixed.
Using a large cookie scoop (¼ cup size) scoop out the dough onto the parchment paper making 12 biscuits about 1 inch apart.
Bake for 15 to 17 minutes until the tops are lightly browned.
Using a small bowl, mix all topping ingredients together and spoon evenly over the top of each warm biscuit.
Let biscuits cool for about 10 minutes on the baking sheet before removing them as they’ll continue to bake a bit on the warm tray after you remove them from the oven.
Serve warm.

Notes

Use a sifter to get out any clumps in the flour and to aerate the ingredients.
When melting the butter in the microwave, remove it from the butter wrapper, place it in a small microwave bowl, and place a paper towel over the top of the bowl. This helps contain any butter splatter.
Oven temperatures vary and may need to be recalibrated periodically to ensure they are accurate. Make sure to check your biscuits at the lower end of the recommended baking time.
