Description
The biscuits are fluffy and have both cooked bacon crumbles and a hint of maple syrup. I recommend using nonstick baking sheet.
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons white sugar
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon cream of tartar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup cold butter (Optional)
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup (Optional)
- 1 egg
- ½ cup finely chopped cooked bacon
- 2 tablespoons melted butter, or to taste (Optional)
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup, or to taste (Optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or use a nonstick baking sheet.
- Combine flour
- sugar
- baking powder
- cream of tartar
- and salt in a large bowl. Use a pastry cutter to cut cold butter into flour mixture
- until you see small
- pea-sized pieces of butter throughout the dough. Add milk
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- and egg and mix just until the ingredients are combined; do not overmix. Dough will be sticky with visible pieces of butter.
- Turn dough out onto generously floured surface and sprinkle bacon pieces on top. Gently knead dough 10 to 15 times to incorporate bacon
- sprinkling with additional flour if the dough is super sticky.
- Pat the dough out to a 3/4- to 1-inch thickness and cut with a biscuit cutter or glass. Transfer biscuits to the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown on top
- 10 to 15 minutes. Brush the tops with melted butter and remaining maple syrup for extra depth.
