Ingredients

• 1 egg
• 1 cup milk
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 4 teaspoons baking powder
• 3 tablespoons white sugar
• 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon cream of tartar
• 0.75 cup cold butter
• 0.5 cup finely chopped cooked bacon
• 2 tablespoons melted butter, or to taste

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or use a nonstick baking sheet.

Step 2

Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, cream of tartar, and salt together in a large bowl. Cut in 3/4 cup cold butter with a pastry cutter until butter is pea-sized. Add milk, 2 tablespoons maple syrup, and egg; mix until combined. Do not overmix. Dough will be sticky with visible pieces of butter.

Step 3

Turn dough out onto a generously floured surface; sprinkle bacon pieces on top. Gently knead dough to incorporate bacon, 10 to 15 times, sprinkling with additional flour if dough is super sticky.

Step 4

Pat dough out to a 3/4- to 1-inch thickness; cut with a biscuit cutter or glass. Transfer biscuits to the prepared baking sheet.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown on top, 10 to 15 minutes. Brush tops with 2 tablespoons melted butter and remaining 2 tablespoons maple syrup for extra depth.
