Mini BLT Biscuits

The classic combination of salty bacon, crisp lettuce, and juicy tomato is even better on a biscuit. These tasty little bites are reminiscent of breakfast sandwiches, yet their miniature size makes them perfect party appetizers.

1
Preheat oven to 400ºF. Sift together self-rising flour, salt, and pepper into a large bowl. Using a fork or pastry blender, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. With a fork, stir in buttermilk until dough comes together.
2
Turn out dough onto a floured surface and dust dough with flour. Pat dough into a roughly 1-inch-thick rectangle and fold in half. Repeat this patting and folding step 3 or 4 more times; this will create flaky layers in the dough, but be careful not to overwork it or your biscuits will be tough.
3
Press dough into a 1/2-inch-thick rectangle and cut into rounds with a 21/4-inch circle cutter. Reroll scraps only once and cut into rounds (note: these second-roll biscuits will not rise as tall as the first biscuits you cut). Arrange rounds an inch apart on a baking sheet. Bake until tops are lightly golden brown, about 10 minutes.
4
For the honey mustard, whisk together mustard, honey, salt, and pepper.
5
When biscuits are cool enough to handle, split them in half using a fork to gently pry the layers apart. Spread honey mustard onto each biscuit bottom. Top with lettuce, avocado slices, tomato, and 2 pieces of bacon. Close sandwiches, secure with a toothpick, and serve.

notes

*If you don’t have self-rising flour, substitute 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and an additional 1/4 teaspoon salt.
