Buttermilk Biscuits with Goat Cheese, Bacon and Chives

We had some leftover bacon from egg salad club sandwiches and I had some goat cheese to use up so this is what I came up with! These biscuits are made using my Baking Mix.

2 1/2 cups Baking Mix
1/4 cup cold butter cut into little pieces
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons dried chives
1/3 cup soft goat cheese, crumbled
1 1/2 pieces crisply cooked bacon, crumbled
1 cup buttermilk

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Place Baking Mix mix in a bowl; cut butter into baking mix. I use my fingers, one less thing to wash! Stir in black pepper, dried chives, goat cheese and bacon. Make a well in the center and add the buttermilk all at once. Stir together until a soft dough forms. Turn dough out onto a well floured surface. Dust the top with additional flour. Knead gently 8-10 times.

Pat dough to 3/4 to 1-inch thickness and cut out biscuits.

Gently push the dough back together and keep cutting out biscuits until all the dough has been used. Place biscuits on an ungreased baking sheet.

Bake at 450 degrees for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.

Serve hot with butter. Jerry's mom and I split this one! :)
