Directions

1. Bake bacon at 375 for 15 minutes until crispy, let cool slightly, roughly chop
2. Mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, sugar with cubed butter, using your fingers or a pastry cutter to break it and mix it into a sandy mixture.

4. Pour in very cold buttermilk and combine. Empty bowl on to cutting board and continue to wokr dough together with your hands until it comes together but be careful not to overwork.
5. Cut dough into thirds and stack each peice on top of each other. Then squish down and roll to create one block again. Repeat this 3 or 4 times, this will give your biscuit laminated layers
