Maple bacon biscuits
A savory,
sweet and spicy cookie topped with cinnamon maple butter! If you don't want to
cut a hot pepper by hand, you can choose to use green peppers in a box.
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 1/2 cups buttermilk
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 tablespoons chives
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 tablespoons maple syrup
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 12 tablespoons butter cold
- 8 slices bacon cooked, and chopped into small pieces
For topping:
- 2 tablespoon maple syrup
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
Instructions
First, in a
large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
Then, combine
chives, cheese and chopped bacon.
With a
cheese grater, grate the cold butter. If you don't have a box grater, just cut
it into small pieces.
Add the
butter to the flour mixture and stir until it looks like coarse breadcrumbs or
a very soft dough.
In a medium
bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and maple syrup.
Add the
buttermilk mixture to the batter and stir until well blended.
Empty the
dough onto a lightly floured mixture and knead lightly to obtain the completely
combined dough.
Spread out
in a rectangle about 1 1/2 "thick.
Using a
cookie cutter, cookie cutter or pizza cutter, cut ~ 12 cookies into the dough.
Note: The number of cookies will depend on the size of your cookie cutter, but
it should be between 10 and 12.
Place on a
baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile,
preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
Before
cooking, combine the melted butter and maple syrup in a small bowl.
Brush the
cookies before baking. There should be leftovers that will be used after
cooking.
Bake the
cookies in the preheated oven for 14 to 16 minutes, until golden.
Immediately
after cooking, brush with more butter / maple syrup mixture.
Happy Cooking Time.
