Preheat the Oven
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F; then line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cook the Bacon
You'll want to cook the bacon first so that they're crispy and ready to use in the drop biscuits. There are several methods: oven, stovetop or microwave.
Use whichever method you prefer; then drain the bacon on paper towels to absorb the excess grease and chop into pieces.
How do you make Bacon and Cheddar Drop Biscuits?
In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and pepper; mix well.
Using the large holes on a box grater, shred the butter into the dry mixture; then add the cheese, sour cream and chopped bacon.
Mix well with a wooden spoon until the dough is combined. Using a kitchen soup spoon, scoop out the dough onto the baking sheet, leaving 2-inches in between each biscuit. You should get 12 biscuits.
Place the pan in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes until the edges are light brown and the centers are puffed up. Serve warm on their own or slathered with some whipped butter.
