Step-by-Step Instructions
Preheat & Prep

Mix Dry & Cut Butter
Whisk flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add Cheese, Bacon & Buttermilk
Stir in cheddar cheese, bacon, and green onions (if using). Add buttermilk. Mix until just combined (don’t overmix — dough will be shaggy).
Drop & Bake

Bake 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
Serve
Serve warm with butter, honey, or jam. Flaky, buttery, packed with bacon and cheese.
