Cheddar Bacon Biscuits with Maple Cinnamon Butter: Sweet, Savory and Spicy All Rolled into One!

Let’s talk about these little bites of heaven: salty bacon, savory cheddar, and spicy jalapeño all packed into one flaky little biscuit! Look closely, you can see all that good stuff!

But Then We Add The Maple Cinnamon Butter…

Because why wouldn’t we??? Slather that yummy stuff on y’all! All those flavors together are like a little ball of buttery bliss.

Of Course I Offer a Delicious Gluten Free Option!

If gluten free living is your thang, you don’t have to sacrifice taste or texture. I use Gluten Free Jovial Pastry Flour, because it’s the best for baking and works perfectly in this decadent pumpkin bread. It’s also soaked for easy digestion!

MAKE THESE MUFFINS GLUTEN FREE AND JUST AS GOOD!

If you are fine eating gluten, have at it! But if you are one of my gluten free followers, I have two wonderful suggestions to make this cake gluten free but just as good: King Arthur’s Measure for Measure Gluten Free Flour is fabulous and found in most grocery stores. Jovial Gluten Free Pastry Flour is also wonderful and the grains in this flour are soaked for easy digestion!

You will need a muffin tin, a whisk and silicone spatula (affiliate links).

• 6
  slices
  thick cut bacon, cooked until almost crispy, chop into bits
• 1 1/2
  cups
  cheddar cheese, freshly grated (separated)
• 1/4
  cup
  sliced jalapeños, chopped (the kind that are packed in water) You can use mild or spicy.
• 2
  cups
  all purpose flour (or your favorite gluten free brand)
• 1
  tablespoon
  baking powder
• 1/4
  teaspoon
  baking soda
• 3/4
  teaspoon
  sea salt
• 6
  tablespoons
  cold butter, cut into pieces
• 3/4
  cup
  cold buttermilk

Maple cinnamon butter:

• 2-3
  Tablespoons
  pure maple syrup
• 1/2
  cup
  softened butter
• 1
  teaspoon
  cinnamon

1. Preheat oven to 450 and place rack in center position. Cover a baking sheet with parchment and set aside

Biscuits:

1. Cook bacon until almost crispy. Remove from pan and set on paper towel, chop when cooled. While bacon cooks measure out dry ingredients, grate cheese and chop jalapeños

2. Place flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a bowl. Whisk.

3. Add cold butter to flour mixture.

4. Use a pastry cutter to break butter into pea sized pieces (you can also use a food processor to do this)

5. Add chopped bacon, 1 cup shredded cheese (reserving the rest for later) and chopped jalapeño to the mix. Stir with a wooden spoon until somewhat combined.

6. Lightly flour counter and pour biscuit batter onto the counter. Use hands to combine and then form into a rectangle that is 1/2″ thick.

7. Fold 1/3 of the dough towards the center and then fold the other third over. (Basically you’re stacking it into thirds) then press into a 1/2″ thick rectangle again. Fold the dough into thirds again and and then press into a 1/2″ thick rectangle for the last time. This will make you biscuits super flaky.

8. Measure to make sure the dough is one half inch thick.

9. Then use a biscuit cutter or the top of a jar or drinking glass to make biscuits into 2 1/2 rounds. You will probably only get nine biscuits from your first round of cutting, so take leftover scraps and press to 1/2″ again and cut three more. This will make 12 biscuits.

10. Place biscuits onto parchment covered cookie sheet. Brush tops with additional buttermilk. Bake for 16 minutes. Remove from oven and sprinkle with remaining cheddar cheese. Allow to cool a little before handling. Serve with maple cinnamon butter and enjoy.

Maple Cinnamon Butter:

1. Use fork to mash all three ingredients together, stir until smooth.
