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.

Add the cold cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or fork to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Toss the crumbled bacon into the dry ingredients until well coated.

Pour in the milk and maple syrup. Only use a little milk at a time until the dough just comes together.

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.
