Instructions

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F and spray or lightly oil a large baking sheet. You can also use a sheet of parchment paper or aluminum foil to line the cookie sheet.
Cook the bacon in a skillet until crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet and set aside until ready to use. Once cool enough to handle, chop the bacon into small bits.
Add the gluten-free flour, garlic powder, onion powder, baking powder and sea salt to a large mixing bowl and stir together (dry ingredients).
Chop the butter into smaller pieces (or break apart the pieces of solid coconut oil if using) and use a fork or pastry cutter to incorporate into the flour mixture. Continue mashing/stirring until pea-sized bits form.
Pour the water into the mixing bowl and stir well until a thick dough forms. If the dough doesn’t come together over time and appears overly crumbly, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of additional water.
Stir in the cooked bacon and grated cheese until well-combined.
Form a large ball out of the biscuit dough, then section it into 6 equal pieces. Using your hands, form round scones out of each ball of dough and place biscuits on the prepared baking sheet.
Whisk together 1 egg white with 1 tablespoon of water (or bacon fat!) in a bowl until it’s nice and frothy. Use a silicone brush to brush the biscuits with the egg wash mixture. This process ensures you get those delightfully crispy golden-brown tops.
Bake on the center rack of the preheated hot oven for 18 to 25 minutes, or until the bacon cheddar biscuits are golden-brown and crispy. Serve and enjoy! =Store leftover biscuits in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.

Notes

*If the dough doesn't come together after mixing it for a while, add 1 to 3 additional tablespoons of water, or until the dough forms.
These biscuits taste best when they are enjoyed fresh out of the oven and are a perfect addition to your weekend brunch. You can eat them the next day but I recommend heating them in the microwave for 20 to 30 seconds for the best texture.
