These old-fashioned Southern-style biscuits are dropped, not rolled. They feature turkey bacon, butter, low-fat buttermilk, and fat-free skim milk, so they're supremely satisfying yet still easy on the waistline. For the best results, you can bake the turkey bacon in a 425°F oven until brown and very crispy, 12 to 15 minutes. Chop it up after cooking. And although using a 1/4-cup measure or large spoon and a sharp snap of the wrist is one way to drop the dough onto the baking sheet, a 2-inch ice cream scoop with a spring-release handle is easier. Definitely worth the investment if you enjoy baking.

Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Spray a 9-inch round cake pan with nonstick spray.

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. With a pastry blender or a large fork, cut in the butter to coarse crumbs. Stir in the bacon. Mix in the buttermilk and milk to form a dough.

Drop the dough by 1/4-cup measures into the pan, making 16 mounds; push the mounds together. Bake until golden, about 20 minutes. Serve at once.
