Drop biscuits are great, quick way to have homemade biscuits in a short period of time. Perfect for lunchtime entertaining! They don’t require yeast and cook quickly in the oven. The combination of the sharp cheddar and bacon in these drop biscuits from Cooking Light Magazine have wonderful salty notes that will compliment many meals.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.
Cut in butter with a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse meal.
Stir in cheese and bacon.
Add buttermilk, stirring just until moist.
Drop dough by 2 level tablespoonfuls 1 inch apart onto a baking sheet coated with cooking spray.
Bake at 400 degrees for 12 minutes, or until golden brown.
Serve warm.
They look great!
Thanks!!

Mmm, cheddar bacon biscuits sound amazing! Pinning this so I can try these post-Paleo. 🙂
Thanks Leah! I bet you have entire long list of post-paleo recipes 🙂

Haha, I certainly do! However, Jon and I are still going to try to keep to a 70-80% Paleo lifestyle if possible… after our “victory meals” of course. 😉
Good for you! 🙂
I love the bacon and cheese combo! I bet this would go great with a hearty soup or chili 🙂
Indeed it would! Mind passing over a bowl of your White Chicken Chili?! 😉
What’s better than cheddar and bacon. These sound yummy!
Honestly, to answer your question, I really don’t think there is anything better than cheddar and bacon! 🙂
Kenley
Yum! I think these would eve work with veggie bacon bits… hmmm… I think I have some in the freezer right now! 😉
Oh I bet they would!! 🙂
Cheddar AND bacon? Holy cow, that’s a winner for sure. They look so delicious and seem to be begging for a bowl of soup or chowder, don’t they? Thanks for sharing!
You’re quite welcome! And yes, with soup they are simply wonderful! 🙂
