Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the bacon, flour, cheddar cheese, McCormick® Freeze-Dried Chives, baking powder, McCormick® Pure Ground Black Pepper, salt, baking soda, garlic powder, grated butter, and buttermilk. Stir with a rubber spatula until just combined.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and gently shape and roll out to a 1¼-inch-thick rectangle.
- Using a 3-inch round cutter or drinking glass, cut out biscuits from the dough, gathering and rerolling the scraps up to 3 more times; you should have about 20 biscuits. Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheets, spacing evenly, and freeze for 10–15 minutes.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and water. Remove the biscuits from the freezer and brush the tops with the egg wash.
- Bake the biscuits for 14–17 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool for about 10 minutes before serving.
- Leftover biscuits will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, or you can freeze unbaked biscuits in a zip-top freezer bag for up to 3 months.
- Enjoy!
