Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cream of tartar, and salt. (2 minutes)

03

Step

Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces of butter remaining. This is key for flaky biscuits! (5 minutes)

04

Step

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, maple syrup, and egg. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix! The dough should be slightly sticky and shaggy. (3 minutes)

05

Step

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Sprinkle the cooked bacon pieces evenly over the dough. Gently pat the dough into a rectangle about 3/4-inch thick. (5 minutes)

06

Step

Using a biscuit cutter (or a sharp knife), cut out biscuits. Place them onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each. (5 minutes)

07

Step

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top. (15 minutes)

08

Step

While the biscuits are still warm, brush the tops with melted butter for extra richness and a beautiful sheen. Serve immediately and enjoy! (2 minutes)

For the best flavor, use high-quality maple syrup and thick-cut bacon.
Make sure your butter is very cold – even frozen – before cutting it into the flour. This will help create steam during baking, resulting in lighter, flakier biscuits.
Don't be afraid to experiment! Add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the dough for a little kick, or sprinkle some shredded cheddar cheese on top before baking.
Biscuits are best served fresh. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat briefly in the oven or microwave before serving.

    My family devoured these in minutes. I'll definitely be making them again.

    The biscuits were a little too salty for my taste, so I reduced the salt by half and they were perfect!

  • Jeremy Ferryolson

    These were amazing! The maple and bacon combo is genius.
