01
Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 450°F. Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat, turning it every now and then until it’s nice and crispy, which usually takes about 10 minutes. Once it’s done, drain the bacon on some paper towels and let it cool enough to crumble into pieces.

Step 2
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Cut in the shortening with your fingers or a pastry cutter until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs. Pour in the buttermilk and stir just until the dough comes together. Gently fold in the crumbled bacon and shredded cheddar.

Step 3
Scoop heaping spoonfuls of the dough onto an ungreased baking sheet, spacing them out a bit. Pop the tray in the oven and bake until the biscuits turn golden brown, about 10 to 12 minutes. Enjoy them warm right out of the oven!
