Preparation
-
1) In a large bowl, add the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt, stir to mix, then add the butter and using a pastry cutter, cut the butter into the dry ingredients just enough to resemble the size of small peas running through.
2) Add the buttermilk, start mixing it with a fork and when you're close to having everything mixed (don't panic, it will be shaggy and crumbly) add the crispy bacon, cheddar and scallions, mix a mit then dump on your work surface and using a bench scraper to help, pull the dough together and form into a disk making sure to cut and stack (watch the video to see what this means) then wrap and refrigerate for an hour.
3) Preheat your oven to 400 degrees, line a couple baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
4) Dust your work surface ever so lightly with some flour, roll out the biscuit dough so it's about 3/4" thick, using a 3" biscuit cutter, cut your biscuits and place on the baking sheet, regroup the dough as needed to cut as many biscuits as you can.
5) Brush the tops with a little buttermilk, then bake for 12-16 minutes or until golden brown.
6) Mix the butter and maple syrup together (really easy to do this with a whisk to incorporate well) and serve with the warm biscuits.
