Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 3/4 cup buttermilk (or milk with 1 tablespoon vinegar or lemon juice added)
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 6 strips bacon, cooked crispy and crumbled
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives (or green onions)
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon dried parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 220 °C (425 °F) for perfect browning of the rolls.
- In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. This should take about 1 minute until well mixed.
- Add the cold, cubed butter and mix with the dry ingredients until the mixture is crumbly. This takes about 3-5 minutes at medium speed if using a mixer.
- Pour the buttermilk into the bowl and stir until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix to maintain a tender texture.
- Sprinkle some flour on a clean work surface and turn the dough out onto it. Gently knead it 2-3 times until smooth, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Roll the dough out to about 1.5 cm thick, which should take about 2 minutes.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar, crumbled bacon, chives, and black pepper evenly over the dough.
- Roll the dough up from one long side to form a log. This should take about 1-2 minutes.
- Cut the log into 2.5 cm pieces and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they have some space between them.
- Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until golden brown. They are done when they easily pull away from the sheet and have a nice color.
- While the rolls are baking, mix the melted butter with the garlic powder and parsley, which takes about 2 minutes.
- Once the rolls are done, remove them from the oven and immediately brush them with the butter mixture. Let them cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Keywords: Avoid overworking the dough as this can make the biscuit rolls tough. Use cold butter straight from the fridge for the fluffiest texture. For even baking, rotate the baking sheet halfway through the baking time.
