Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (cold)
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup (pure)
- 0.75 cup whole milk
- 6 slices crispy cooked bacon (chopped)
- 1 large egg (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon water
- 2 tablespoons optional: maple syrup (for drizzling)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Cut the cold unsalted butter into small cubes and add it to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the chopped crispy cooked bacon.
In a separate bowl, combine the maple syrup and whole milk. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients and gently stir until the dough just comes together. Avoid overmixing.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a rectangle about 1 inch thick. Fold the dough in half, then pat it out again. Repeat this two more times to create flaky layers.
Using a biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass, cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spaced about 1 inch apart. Gather and re-roll the scraps to cut more biscuits if necessary.
In a small bowl, beat the egg with the water to make an egg wash. Brush the tops of the biscuits with the egg wash for a golden finish.
Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden and cooked through.
Optional: Drizzle the warm biscuits with extra maple syrup before serving for added sweetness.
Serve warm and enjoy your Maple Bacon Biscuits with your favorite breakfast spread or as a standalone treat!
