Ingredients
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 tablespoon baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cubed and chilled
– 3/4 cup cold milk
– 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
– 1 apple, peeled, cored, and diced
Instructions
1. – Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. – In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
3. – Cut in the chilled butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. – Add the cold milk and stir just until a soft dough forms.
5. – Gently fold in the crumbled bacon and diced apple.
6. – Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead briefly, about 5-6 times.
7. – Pat the dough into a 1/2-inch thick round. Use a 2-inch biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits, pressing straight down without twisting.
8. – Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
9. – Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
10. – Serve the Bacon Apple Breakfast Biscuits warm, with a drizzle of maple syrup if desired.
Notes
For a flakier texture, you can freeze the cubed butter for 15-20 minutes before using. You can also substitute pears or other fruit for the apples. The biscuits are best enjoyed fresh, but any leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
