Steps

1. Step 1

   Preheat your oven to 425°F and set aside a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

2. Step 2

   Grate or dice the frozen butter. Then, place the butter in the freezer for at least 15 minutes (remove once you get to Step 4).

3. Step 3

   Next, sift the flour, baking soda, and baking powder to a large bowl. Then, add the sugar, black pepper, and salt. Whisk the ingredients together until combined.

4. Step 4

   Next, remove the butter from the freezer and add the butter pieces to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or fork to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse, pea-sized crumbs. Alternatively, a food processor will work as well.

5. Step 5

   Next, add your roughly chopped cooked bacon, shredded cheddar, and green onion to the flour mixture and stir until well combined.

6. Step 6

   Next, add the minced garlic to the buttermilk and whisk until combined.

7. Step 7

   Then, push some of the flour mixture to the edges of the bowl to resemble a well. Next, gradually add the garlic-infused buttermilk to the center of the well, stirring gently until the dough comes together. Do not overwork the dough. The dough should look crumbly, yet moistened.

8. Step 8

   Dump the dough into a lightly floured surface. With floured hands, bring the dough together by kneading it a few times. Be careful not to overwork the dough. With your hands or a rolling pin, pat dough into a rectangle. Next, cut the dough into three equal rectangles with a floured knife. Stack the rectangles on top of each other to form 3 layers (alternatively, you can fold the dough letter style to form 3 layers). Roll or pat out the layered dough into another rectangle and repeat the process two more times. Then, pat or roll the dough out to about 1/2-inch to 3/4-inch thickness.

9. Step 9

   Next, use a 2.0-2.5 inch biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass to cut out biscuits. When cutting the dough, be sure not to twist the cutter, as twisting the cutter will prevent the dough from rising. You can also use a sharp knife to cut the biscuits into squares if you do not want to use a biscuit cutter. Once the biscuits are cut, place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet at least 2 inches apart.

10. Step 10

    Brush the tops of the biscuits with egg wash and bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 12-17 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.

11. Step 11

    Once done, remove the biscuits and brush the biscuits with melted butter and enjoy!
