Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1 : Cook the Bacon

Cook bacon until crispy. Chop into small pieces and set aside.
(Use fresh, not soft bacon, for best flavor.)

Step 2 : Mix Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt.

Step 3 : Cut in the Butter

Add cold cubed butter and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to mix until coarse crumbs form.
The colder the butter, the flakier the biscuits!

Step 4 : Add Cheese & Bacon

Stir in cheddar cheese and chopped bacon.

Step 5 : Add Buttermilk & Maple

Pour in the buttermilk and maple syrup.
Stir gently until dough comes together.
Do NOT overmix — it makes biscuits tough.

Step 6 : Shape the Biscuits

Turn dough onto a floured surface.
Pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle.
Cut into circles or squares using a cutter or knife.

Step 7 : Bake

Place biscuits on a lined baking tray.
Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 12–15 minutes until golden brown.

Step 8 : Maple Butter Finish

Brush warm biscuits with melted butter mixed with maple syrup.
This adds a glossy finish and subtle sweetness.
