Notes

For variations, you can substitute bacon with diced ham or sausage. Try using different cheese varieties like pepper jack for a spicy kick!
These biscuits are best served warm. You may also chill the dough before baking for a firmer texture.
To enhance the flavor, brush the tops with melted butter right after they come out of the oven.
