    Maple Buttermilk Biscuits with Bacon

    May 5, 2018 | by Jennifer | Last Updated: Apr 1, 2022

    Jump to Recipe

    These maple biscuits with bacon are classic buttermilk biscuits, made better with maple syrup and bacon!

    Maple Bacon Buttermilk Biscuits

    I'm still on a maple syrup and bacon kick and back with some perfect weekend baking (and eating!). These maple bacon biscuits are a special morning treat, especially appropriate for leisurely weekend enjoyment.

    These buttermilk biscuits are both flavoured with and topped with maple syrup. Inside, you'll find lots of chunks of bacon. It's a classic combination and of course, everything is better with bacon!

    Servings 12 biscuits

    Ingredients
     

    Biscuits:

    • 6 slices bacon
    • 1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
    • 1 Tbsp white sugar
    • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
    • 1/8 tsp baking soda
    • 1/4 tsp salt, omit if using salted butter
    • 1/2 cup butter, cut into 8 pieces, salted or unsalted.
    • 3 Tbsp maple syrup
    • 7 Tbsp buttermilk, plus a bit more, if needed *see Note 1

    Brushing before baking:

    • 1 egg
    • 1 1/2 tsp heavy cream

    Brushing at end of baking:

    • 3-4 Tbsp maple syrup

    Topping:

    • Fleur de sel, or other coarse salt
    Prevent screen from going dark

    Instructions
     

    • Cook bacon in a frying pan over medium heat until just cooked, but not crispy. Remove to a sheet of paper towel. Let cool and then dice. Set aside.
    • Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. Add butter pieces and using a pastry cutter or fork, cut butter into flour mixture until it resembles small peas. Stir in the diced bacon then Add the maple syrup and buttermilk and stir with a fork until the dough just comes together. *You may need to add a touch more buttermilk.
    • Remove dough to a lightly floured surface, and gently press into an oval about 1–inch thick. Cut the biscuits using a 2–inch round or square cutter, re-rolling the scraps to make additional biscuits. Place the biscuits on a parchment–lined baking sheet, about 2 inches apart. Freeze the tray just until the biscuits are chilled, about 10 minutes.
    • Heat the oven to 350F. While the biscuits are chilling, prepare the egg wash by whisking together the egg and cream. Brush the chilled biscuits with the egg wash.
    • Bake the biscuits until they just begin to brown, about 25 minutes. Remove the tray from the oven. Quickly drizzle 1 tsp of the maple syrup over each biscuit, then place the tray back in the oven for 3 minutes more. Remove from oven and top with a sprinkling of fleur de sel or other coarse salt. Serve while still warm.
