1 tbsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt

🥓Step-by-Step: Biscuits in 4 Moves
1. Shred & Mix Dry
Use hand crank cheese grater with fine blade to shred cheddar into fluffy strands.
Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and garlic powder in a large bowl.
2. Cut in Butter & Bacon
Add cold butter cubes—work with fingertips or pastry cutter until pea-sized crumbs form.
Toss in shredded cheddar and chopped bacon.
3. Bind & Fold
Pour in cold buttermilk. Stir until just combined—don’t overmix.
Turn dough onto floured surface. Fold 3–4 times for flaky layers. Pat into 1-inch thick rectangle.
4. Cut, Brush & Bake
Cut into rounds (or squares to avoid scraps). Place on parchment-lined tray.
Brush with egg wash. Bake at 425°F until golden and fragrant. Serve warm—watch the cheese ooze.
