How to Make Cracked Out Butter Dips
These biscuits are super easy to make. Start with melting some butter in a baking dish. Mix together flour, baking powder, salt, ranch dressing mix, cheddar cheese, bacon, and buttermilk. Press the dough into the baking dish. Cut the dough into squares and bake.
- Can use precooked bacon or freshly cooked bacon. If using fresh bacon, you will need about 1/3 of a pound of bacon.

- This recipe can easily be doubled for a crowd. Just double the ingredients and bake in a 9×13-inch pan.
- I don’t have buttermilk. What can I use instead? You can make homemade buttermilk with 1 cup milk and 1 Tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice. Mix the two together and let sit for 5 minutes before using it.
- Can I freeze Butter Dip Biscuits? Sure! You can freeze any leftover biscuits for a quick side later.

Cracked Out Butter Dips
Equipment:
Ingredients:
- ¼ cup unsalted butter
- 1¼ cup flour
- 1 Tbsp dry Ranch Dressing mix
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ⅓ cup cooked chopped bacon
- ⅔ to 1 cup buttermilk or milk
Instructions:
- Heat the oven to 450°F. Cut the butter into pieces and place them in an 8-inch square microwave-safe baking dish. Put the dish in the microwave and melt the butter.
- While the butter is melting, whisk the flour, baking powder, salt, and ranch dressing mix together in a large mixing bowl. Add cheese and bacon. Stir in 2/3 cup buttermilk; continue to add more buttermilk until a loose dough forms. (I used about 2-3 Tbsp more than the 2/3 cup)
- Remove baking dish from the microwave and press biscuit dough in the pan over the melted butter (It helps to put a little flour on top of the dough or your fingers). Using a knife, cut the biscuits into 12 or 16 squares.
- Bake for 17-20 minutes until golden.

Is the flour self rising or plain?
all-purpose flour
Have you ever doubled this recipe and frozen half?
You can freeze the baked biscuits and they will be fine.
Chandana, a quick internet search for "vegan bacon" or "vegetarian bacon" will give you lots of products. I, however, am allergic to soy, which is in many meat analogs, so I just leave it out. If there's enough bacon that I feel that the volume needs to be replaced, I use something else…usually beans, since I love them. In this particular recipe, I'm going to try finely chopped onions, which will give a completely different flavor profile, but one that I imagine will be delicious! Hope this helps you get started. (Sadly, I'm also allergic to bacon, and anything else from a piggy.)
Hi there .. these look yummy. What would be a good substitute for bacon for a vegetarian? Thank you!
What do you normally substitute for bacon? I’m not really sure what vegetarian options there are for bacon
Sorry was not clear. Something that could add similar richness/flavor I guess?
