Do you like homemade biscuits but don’t have the time to make them? If so, give my bacon kale biscuits recipe a try. There is no kneading or cutting involved, and you can make them in less than 30 minutes. The texture of these biscuits is similar to drop biscuits. This recipe is versatile as well. Add any type of cheese, herbs or spices you prefer. Since turkey bacon is used instead of regular bacon and reduced fat buttermilk replaced the regular buttermilk, these biscuits are actually healthy. Because they are so simple and easy to make, you can have them for breakfast, snack or as a side dish.
