Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or use a nonstick baking sheet.
- Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, cream of tartar, and salt in a large bowl. Use a pastry cutter to cut cold butter into flour mixture, until you see small, pea-sized pieces of butter throughout the dough. Add milk, 2 tablespoons maple syrup, and egg and mix just until the ingredients are combined; do not overmix. Dough will be sticky with visible pieces of butter.
- Turn dough out onto generously floured surface and sprinkle bacon pieces on top. Gently knead dough 10 to 15 times to incorporate bacon, sprinkling with additional flour if the dough is super sticky.
- Pat the dough out to a 3/4- to 1-inch thickness and cut with a biscuit cutter or glass. Transfer biscuits to the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown on top, 10 to 15 minutes. Brush the tops with melted butter and remaining maple syrup for extra depth.

MAPLE BACON BISCUITS
Steps:
- 1. In a medium frying pan, cook the bacon over medium heat until cooked but not crispy, 10 to 12 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate or pan, to remove excess fat. 2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. 3. Using a pastry cutter or fork, cut in the diced butter, until it resembles small peas. Stir in the bacon, then one-fourth cup plus 2 tablespoons of maple syrup and the buttermilk until the dough just comes together (it will still be clumpy). Be careful not to overwork the dough. 4. On a lightly floured surface, gently press or roll the dough to 1-inch thickness. Cut the biscuits using a 2-inch round cutter; you should have 24 biscuits. Place 12 biscuits on each of two parchment-lined baking sheets, spaced 2 inches apart. Freeze the trays just until the biscuits are chilled, about 10 minutes. 5. Heat the oven to 350 degrees. While the biscuits are chilling, prepare the egg wash: In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk, egg and cream. Brush the chilled biscuits with egg wash and top each with a pinch of fleur de sel. 6. Bake the biscuits until they just begin to brown, about 25 minutes (you should easily be able to pick the biscuits up off the tray). Remove the tray from the oven. Quickly drizzle 1 teaspoon of the remaining maple syrup over each biscuit, then place the tray back in the oven for 3 minutes more. Serve while still warm.

MAPLE-BACON UPSIDE-DOWN BISCUITS RECIPE - (4.4/5)

Steps:
- Cook the bacon until barely done, light to medium brown but not crispy; then chop into 1/2" pieces. Add bacon to a small mixing bowl along with the remaining Topping ingredients. Set aside. Line an 8-9" square baking dish with parchment paper, then spray with cooking spray. Spread the topping evenly in the prepared pan. (I used 2 forks.) Preheat the oven to 400°F. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar (if using). Cut the butter in until coarse pea size crumbs. Slowly add the milk, stirring just until a sticky dough forms. Drop the dough by rounded tablespoons onto the top of the syrup mixture in the pan. (I made 9 even portions.) Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until biscuits are golden brown. Remove from oven and immediately invert onto a serving plate. Spoon any syrup left in the pan over the biscuits. Serve warm. (Leftovers can be microwaved for 10-12 seconds to reheat.)
Tips:
- Use high-quality bacon for the best flavor. Thick-cut bacon is ideal, as it will provide a nice crispy texture.
- Don't skimp on the maple syrup. It's what gives these biscuits their signature flavor. Use real maple syrup, not pancake syrup, for the best results.
- Be careful not to overmix the dough. Overmixing will result in tough biscuits. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Roll out the dough to a thickness of about 1/2 inch. This will ensure that the biscuits are cooked evenly.
- Bake the biscuits in a hot oven. This will help them to rise quickly and evenly.
- If you don't have a biscuit cutter, you can use a glass or a cup to cut out the biscuits.
- Serve the biscuits warm with additional maple syrup, butter, or your favorite jam or jelly.
