Ingredients

4 cups all-purpose flour plus more, to taste, for dusting a work surface
1 1/2 tablespoons baking powder
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup butter cold and cubed
1 cup cheddar cheese grated
6 slices bacon cooked and crumbled
1/4 cup chives chopped
1 3/4 cups buttermilk

Directions

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, add 4 cups of the all-purpose flour, the baking powder, the garlic powder, and the salt and whisk until it is combined.
Use a pastry cutter to cut the butter into the flour mixture until pea-sized crumbles form.
Add the cheese, the bacon, and the chives to the dough mixture and stir until they are evenly distributed.
Stir the buttermilk into the dough mixture until the dry ingredients are thoroughly incorporated and a soft dough forms.
Use the extra flour to lightly dust a work surface.
Turn the dough out onto the prepared surface and knead it, about 3-4 times.
Use a rolling pin to roll the dough out into a large rectangle that is approximately 1 1/4-inches-thick.
Use a 2-inch round biscuit or cookie cutter to cut the dough into circles.
Place the dough circles about 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheet.
Place the baking sheet in the freezer and chill the dough circles, about 15 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
Transfer the baking sheet from the freezer and bake the biscuits until they are golden-brown, about 15-18 minutes.
Serve immediately.
