Bacon Gravy
- Cook bacon in medium saucepan over medium high heat, then set aside on a plate lined with a paper towel.
- To the bacon grease, add the garlic and shallot, and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Slowly add flour, whisking until combined. Toast the flour for 1-2 minutes, then reduce heat to medium low.
- Slowly add the milk, whisking continuously until thickened.
- Crumble bacon into the gravy, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Brown Butter Biscuits
- Preheat oven to 425, and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a food processor, combine the flour, baking powder and salt. Add the brown butter in chunks, and pulse until just combined (about 12 pulses). Slowly pour the milk in, pulsing until just combined.
- Press or roll out dough to 1/2-3/4 inch thick, and cut into rounds with a biscuit cutter.
- Gather any dough scraps together, press or roll out, and cut out more biscuits. Repeat with any remaining dough.
- Place on a parchment lined baking sheet, and bake 12-14 minutes or until golden brown.
- Slice in half, and serve with bacon gravy and chives over the top! Add eggs and bacon if desired. You will likely have biscuits leftover!
