Bacon And Onion Biscuits Recipes

BACON AND ONION BISCUITS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425°F. Grease cookie sheet with shortening or spray with cooking spray. In 10-inch skillet, cook bacon and onion over medium heat 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until bacon is crisp and onion is beginning to brown; drain.
• In large bowl, mix flour, salt, baking powder and sugar. Stir in bacon and onion. Stir in whipping cream until soft dough forms.
• On cookie sheet, drop dough by heaping tablespoonfuls about 3 inches apart. Brush tops with milk. Bake 11 to 13 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm or cooled.

QUICK BACON-CHEDDAR BISCUITS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• In a large bowl add the flour, baking powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, paprika, and onion powder. Mix to blend then make a well in the center of the bowl and add the milk, butter, bacon and cheese. Mix gently with a wooden spoon. The dough will be wet and sticky. Using a 1/4 cup measure or ice cream scoop, portion the batter onto a baking sheet, leaving an inch or so around each biscuit.
• In a small bowl, beat the egg with a splash of water and then brush this mixture on the top of each biscuit. Bake in the oven until the biscuits are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center of one comes out clean, 20 to 22 minutes.

BACON AND ONION BISCUITS

Steps:

• In a skillet cook bacon and onion until bacon is slightly crisp and onion tender. Drain fat.
• In a bowl mix dry ingredients together. Cut in butter. Add milk, bacons, and onion. Mix with fork until just combined.
• Turn dough to lightly floured surface and knead several times until dough holds together.
• Pat or roll dough to 3/4 inch thick. Cut dough with biscuit cutter and place on baking sheet. I also just drop biscuits into cupcake tins which is much quicker. Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Makes 12.

BACON AND ONION BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450ºF.
• In a small skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crisp, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels until cool, then chop into small pieces. Add the onion to the skillet with the bacon grease and cook over medium-low heat until light golden, about 5 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
• Stir together the flour, powdered milk, baking powder, sugar, cream of tartar and salt in a medium bowl. Using a pastry cutter, cut the chilled butter bits and shortening into the dry mixture until blended thoroughly. Stir in the bacon and onion. Fold in the buttermilk until the dough comes together.
• On a lightly floured surface, turn out the dough and use your hands to press into a circle 1 to 1 1/2 inches thick. Cut out circles with a biscuit cutter or a glass. Place the biscuits in cast-iron skillets, then brush the tops with the melted butter. Bake until golden brown, about 15 minutes.

BACON, GREEN ONION, AND CHEDDAR BISCUITS (EMERIL LAGASSE)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 475°F Sift the self-rising flour, cake flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar and salt into a large bowl. Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, work the 4 tablespoons cold butter into the flour until the pieces are pea size.
• Add the bacon, cheddar and green onions to the flour mixture. Pour the heavy cream into the flour mixture and, with your hands or a silicone spatula, stir just until the cream and flour come together to form a dough.
• Use 2 tablespoons of the melted butter to brush the inside of the Cast-Iron Biscuit Pan (Emeril has his own line, but I think any biscuit pan would work). Carefully spoon mixture into each well being sure to divide the mixture evenly between all wells. This will ensure even baking. Gently smooth each top with the back of a spoon or spatula. Brush the tops with the remaining tablespoon of melted butter.
• Bake in the oven for 10 or 12 minutes, or until golden brown. Allow to cool briefly before running a thin, sharp, small blade around the edge of the biscuit pan and inverting the pan to release the biscuits.
