Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup cooked bacon, crumbled
• 1/4 cup fresh chives, chopped
• 3/4 cup buttermilk
• 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together.
3. Cut in Butter: Add the cold cubed butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Add Cheese, Bacon, and Chives: Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, and chopped chives until evenly distributed.

7. Brush with Egg Wash: Brush the tops of the biscuits with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown.
