MAPLE BACON CHEDDAR BISCUITS – The Southern Lady Cooks

We love all biscuits and these are wonderful! The maple with the bacon and cheddar is delicious and a great way to start the day.

If you love biscuits like we do, you will want to try our Cathead Biscuits! They are our most popular for a reason. Our Nannie made them daily and they are wonderful.

❤️WHY WE LOVE THIS RECIPE

We love this recipe because it’s different but so good! The combination of the maple with the biscuit really takes this biscuit to the next level. We love serving it with a pat of butter and drizzling more maple syrup over it. It’s so good with the sweetness of the maple and the cheddar and bacon. If you are a fan of biscuits definitely give this one a try!

SWAPS

Not a fan of cheddar? You can easily switch out the cheese in this recipe to a type you like. Also if you want to use turkey bacon you can do that too. I think honey could replace the maple syrup too. We use buttermilk in our biscuits, it gives the biscuits the correct texture and the right amount of fat to make them delicious!

WHY MORE BUTTER AND MAPLE SYRUP ON TOP?

The other bakes into the biscuit and this is just a little more added sweetness and butter and biscuits just go together. They are just as delicious with butter right out of the oven and no syrup.

⭐TIP

These biscuits keep well and are wonderful heated up for about 12 seconds in the microwave. They are delicious the next day too!
