Ingredients
Biscuits
- 7 lices Bacon diced
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 Tbsp baking powder
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 3/4 tsp garlic powder
- 2 Tbsp unsalted butter cut into small pieces and chilled
- 2 Tbsp Reserved bacon grease from cooking bacon
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 cup + 2 Tbsp buttermilk cold
Butter topping
- 2 Tbsp unsalted butter melted
- 1 tsp minced fresh parsley
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- pinch of kosher salt
Instructions
Cook bacon
- Cook bacon in a skillet over MED heat, until crispy (or in whichever way you usually prepare bacon). Remove cooked bacon to a paper towel lined plate, and pour grease into a small shallow bowl. Place bowl of bacon grease in the freezer to chill.
Prepare
- Add cubed butter to freezer to chill as well.
- Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
Make biscuit dough
- To a food processor, add flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder. Add chilled butter and bacon grease, pulsing a few times, or until pea-sized lumps form.
- Add bacon and cheddar cheese, and pulse just 1-2 more times to combine.
- Transfer flour mixture from the food processor to a large bowl. Make a well in the center, and pour in maple syrup and buttermilk.
- Mix well using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula, adding more buttermilk if the mixture is very dry.
Scoop and bake biscuits
- Scoop out dough in approximately 1/4 cup portions, adding them to the prepared baking sheet, leaving some room in between each biscuit.
- Bake for about 15 minutes, or until lightly golden.
Add topping
- Combine topping ingredients (melted butter, parsley, garlic powder, and salt), and brush onto cooked biscuits.
Cool
- Transfer biscuits to a cooling rack to cool, or serve warm.
Notes
- like this one
- Recipe makes approximately 12 biscuits.
- If you'd prefer to use bacon that's already cooked, you can absolutely use it, you'll just need to have bacon grease on hand.
- If you prefer to not use bacon grease at all, you can use an equal amount of additional butter instead.
- A food processor isn't necessary for this recipe; if you don't have one, you can use a pastry cutter or pastry blender (like this one - amazon link), or two forks used in a criss cross motion to cut in the butter and grease.
