These savory biscuits are a delightful twist on classic scones, featuring cheddar cheese and crispy bacon for a flavorful treat.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Preheating ensures even baking and a golden crust.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, ground mustard, salt, and black pepper.
Mixing the dry ingredients thoroughly ensures even distribution of leavening agents.
Cut the cold butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Using cold butter helps create a flaky texture in the biscuits.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg and milk.
Whisking the wet ingredients ensures a smooth mixture for even incorporation.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
Avoid overmixing to prevent tough biscuits.
Gently fold in the green onion, shredded cheddar cheese, and two-thirds of the crumbled bacon.
Folding gently helps maintain the airiness of the dough.
Transfer the dough onto a greased baking sheet and shape it into a 7-inch circle.
Shaping the dough evenly ensures uniform baking.
Cut the circle into eight wedges but do not separate them.
Keeping the wedges together helps them rise evenly.
Sprinkle the remaining bacon on top of the dough.
Adding bacon on top enhances the presentation and flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
Check for doneness by ensuring the biscuits are golden and firm.
Allow to cool slightly before serving warm.
Serving warm enhances the flavor and texture of the biscuits.
