Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
- 1 tbsp. baking powder
- 1 tbsp. sugar
- Kosher salt
- 6 tbsp. cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 3/4 cup finely grated sharp cheddar cheese
- 3 scallions, finely chopped
- 3/4 cup cold buttermilk, plus more for brushing
- 16 slices bacon
- 1 avocado
- Juice of 1/2 lime
- 2 tbsp. chopped pickled jalapenos, plus 1 tbsp. brine
- 2 plum tomatoes, thinly sliced
- 2 heads baby lettuce, leaves torn
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 425. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Combine the flour, baking powder, sugar and 1 tsp salt in a food processor and pulse until combined. Add the butter; pulse until it is in pea-size pieces. Add the cheddar and scallions and pulse 2 or 3 times to incorporate. Add the buttermilk and pulse a couple of times until the dough just comes together.
-
Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Pat into a 6×7-inch rectangle. Cut out biscuits with a floured 2-inch biscuit cutter and transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Pat the scraps together and repeat to make 16 biscuits total. Brush the tops with buttermilk. Bake until lightly golden and puffed, 12-15 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool.
-
Meanwhile, working in batches, cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat, turning, until crisp, about 5 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Break each slice into thirds.
-
Mash the avocado in a small bowl with the lime juice and jalapeno brine; stir in the chopped jalapenos and season with salt. Season the tomatoes with salt.
-
Split the biscuits; spread the top halves with the mashed avocado. Fill with the bacon, lettuce and tomatoes.
