Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line an 8-inch or 9-inch pan with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt
Add the cold cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or fork to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
¼ cup cold unsalted butter
Toss the crumbled bacon into the dry ingredients until well coated.
6 slices bacon
Pour in the milk and maple syrup. Only use a little milk at a time until the dough just comes together.
¾ cup whole milk, 3 tablespoons maple syrup
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a 1-inch thick round. Use a biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out biscuits and place them in the prepared pan.
Optional: Refrigerate for 30 minutes to let the butter set.
Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
If desired, brush the tops with a little extra maple syrup right after baking for added sweetness. Serve warm!
