Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups of unbleached all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of kosher salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of fresh cracked pepper.
  3. Gently fold in 1/2 cup of crumbled cooked bacon, 1/2 cup of cubed Granny Smith apple, 1 cup of shredded sharp cheddar cheese, and a handful of chopped fresh herbs into the dry mixture.
  4. Grate in 1/4 cup of frozen unsalted butter directly into the biscuit mixture and work it in until crumbly.
  5. Pour in 3/4 cup of kefir and stir gently until just combined.
  6. On a floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1 to 1¼ inches thick and cut out your biscuits.
  7. Collect any dough scraps and re-roll them to cut out additional biscuits.
  8. Place cut biscuits on a parchment-lined baking sheet, touching lightly for support.
  9. Bake for 18-22 minutes until golden brown.
  10. Allow biscuits to cool slightly for about 5 minutes before serving warm.
