How to Make Maple Bacon Biscuits
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Cook bacon in a medium frying pan over medium heat until cooked through but not crispy (10-12 minutes), stirring frequently. Remove bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease. Crumble bacon.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Cut in the cold, diced butter using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in the crumbled bacon, maple syrup, and buttermilk until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat or roll to 1-inch thickness.
- Use a 2-inch biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits. You should have approximately 24.
- Place biscuits 2 inches apart on two parchment-lined baking sheets.
- Chill biscuits in the freezer for 10 minutes.
- While biscuits chill, whisk together egg yolk, beaten egg, and cream in a small bowl for the egg wash.
- Brush chilled biscuits with egg wash and sprinkle with fleur de sel (optional).
- Bake for 25 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
- Remove from oven. Drizzle 1 teaspoon of remaining maple syrup over each biscuit.
- Return to oven for 3 minutes to set the glaze.
- **To bake from frozen:** Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place desired number of frozen biscuits on a lightly oiled baking sheet. Bake for 20-26 minutes, or until golden brown.
