And you thought biscuits would be off limits...

Cody made these Monday and they were really good! Bacon Biscuits by Weight Watchers Magazine Course: breakfast PointsPlus™ Value: 2 Servings: 16 Preparation Time: 10 min Cooking Time: 20 min Level of Difficulty: Easy These old-fashioned Southern-style biscuits are dropped, not rolled. Ingredients 2 cup(s) white all-purpose flour 2 1/2 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp table salt 1/8 tsp baking soda 3 Tbsp regular butter, cold unsalted, cut into bits 4 slice(s) cooked crisp turkey bacon, chopped 1 cup(s) buttermilk, low-fat 1/4 cup(s) Over the Moon Fat free milk, or other brand Instructions Preheat the oven to 425°F. Spray a 9-inch round cake pan with nonstick spray. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. With a pastry blender or a large fork, cut in the butter to coarse crumbs. Stir in the bacon. Mix in the buttermilk and milk to form a dough. Drop the dough by 1/4-cup measures into the pan, making 16 mounds; push the mounds together. Bake until golden, about 20 minutes. Serve at once. Notes For best results, bake the turkey bacon in a 425°F oven until brown and very crispy, 12–15 minutes. Chop it after cooking. Although using a 1/4-cup measure or large spoon and a sharp snap of the wrist is one way to drop the dough onto the baking sheet, a 2-inch ice cream scoop with a spring-release handle is easier. *I have no idea what is happening with my line breaks- sorry!

  2. I also think they would taste great with an addition of rosemary or chives

  3. Rosemary would definitely be good. Or rosemary gravy. Also, I ended up with like, 8 biscuits instead of 16. Maybe our ice cream scoop is bigger than 2" (though I don't think so). So who knows what the point value of the one's I made actually were.
