Ingredients
Syrup
- 1/2 pound bacon, cooked until medium-brown
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
Biscuits
- 2 cups King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
- 2 teaspoons Bakewell Cream*
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup (4 tablespoons) cold butter
- 1 cup cold milk or cold buttermilk
- *If you don't have Bakewell Cream, substitute 2 teaspoons baking powder and omit the baking soda.
Directions
1) Preheat the oven to 475°F. Lightly grease an 8" square or 9" round pan.
2) Syrup: Chop the cooked bacon into 1/2" pieces. Combine the bacon with the remaining syrup ingredients, stirring until well combined. Spread in the bottom of the prepared pan.
3) Biscuits: Whisk the dry ingredients together in a bowl.
4) Work in the butter until the mixture is crumbly; some larger, pea-sized pieces of butter may remain intact.
5) Add the milk or buttermilk, stirring to make a sticky dough.
6) Drop the dough in heaping tablespoonfuls atop the syrup in the pan. A tablespoon cookie scoop, slightly overfilled, works well here.
7) Bake the biscuits for 10 minutes. Turn the oven off, and leave them in the oven for an additional 5 to 10 minutes, until they're golden brown.
8) Remove the biscuits from the oven, and immediately turn the pan over onto a serving plate. Lift off the pan, and scrape any syrup left in the pan onto the biscuits. Pull biscuits apart to serve.
Yield: 16 small biscuits.

04/13/2012- I made this for Easter Brunch. They were gone in minutes and everyone had to have the recipe. I used blue agave syrup, 1/8 cup maple sugar and 1/4 cup brown sugar, came out great. Can't wait to have them again!!!

- I just made this for the first time, and it will certainly NOT be the last. This is a delicious, quick, and easy breakfast/brunch treat. I didn't use quite so much bacon, but just for personal taste. Try this recipe!

- These are so tasty! I baked the bacon, much easier and less time consuming than frying. It's a very easy recipe to put together and the finished biscuits taste great the next day too. I think these would make a great Sunday brunch item or a great thing to serve to holiday guests.

- Absolutely fabulous recipe. The platter lasted barely 10 minutes on my table.
01/09/2012- This was very easy and it came out perfect. The taste was ok - reminded me of eating a bite of pancake with a bit of syrup and bacon. I'm not sure I liked the texture of a tender biscuit with a chewing piece of bacon on top. This was the first time I used the Bakewell Cream and the biscuit part was excellent.

- Once again I am very impressed by one of KA's recipes. I just made these delicious biscuits this morning. I used a few of the suggestions from the other comments, such as using parchment paper and rolling the biscuits in a cinnamon/sugar mix. I also had to use KA unbleached bread flour as I am still out of the all-purpose....they turned out beautifully!!!! Simple recipe with a short list of ingredients. I will be prepping this recipe on Christmas Eve and putting it in the oven bright and early on Christmas morn, along with a pot of fresh brewed coffee and a fire in the fireplace....I can't wait!!!

- This recipe was quick and easy. I love the salt-sweet flavors in the topping. Even though there is this sweet topping, the biscuits aren't sweet, so it's not over powering sweet. It was wonderful warm. Eating a little right now that is cold and is good, but lots better warm. Thanks for another great recipe, this is a keeper and I think I will make it for Christmas morning.

- In my family, we are not afraid of the goo, so we made the sticky very sticky. We rolled the biscuits in a mixture of cinnamon and sugar before they were placed in the pan. Also, we used thick cut pepper bacon. The young ones broke from the X box to eat. Their comments indicated they had experienced an epiphany.
