Warm, tender, flaky biscuits made with pure maple syrup and crisp bacon for a Sweet and Savory treat that is sure to delight.
Nothing warms the heart or the belly more on a cold Winters morning than fresh biscuits hot out of the oven. These simple Buttermilk Biscuits come together in no time. Maple and bacon are the perfect combination, giving you that Sweet N Salty satisfaction. Feel free to add cheddar cheese to the dough as well. Slice the, fresh from oven, biscuits in half and spread with butter or top with an egg. For a sweeter treat, mix a few tablespoons of butter with Maple Syrup to make Maple Butter. They are also deliciously, snack-able all on their own. Enjoy!
