Maple Bacon Biscuits: Ruby Tuesday Copycat Recipe
Love maple, bacon, and all things bread? Then you'll love these Maple Bacon Biscuits – A Ruby Tuesdays Biscuit Recipe Copycat! How can you go wrong with maple syrup, cheddar cheese, and bacon?!?
I'm pretty good at replicating a recipe I've had a few times, but trying to make something I've never had? That's a bit of a challenge! After hearing people raving about these Maple Bacon Biscuits from Ruby Tuesday, I really wanted to try one though!
Since I don't see myself visiting one anytime soon, I did the next best thing – headed to the internet to look for copycat recipes. After reading through dozens of recipes, taking notes from the comments, and a lot of experimenting in the kitchen, and getting feedback from friends in other places around the country, I'm calling this one a success!
Other variations on the bacon biscuit recipe:
- Skip the syrup
- Use other kinds of cheese
- Top with 3 Tbsp melted butter, mixed with 1/2 tsp parsley (dried) & 1 tsp garlic salt
- Increase the amount of bacon
- Decrease the amount of cheese
Let me know what combinations you try!

Ingredients
- 5 slices bacon
- ½ cup maple syrup
- 3¼ cups flour
- 4 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 stick butter 8 tablespoons
- 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar
- ½ cup buttermilk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425.
- Fry the bacon and let it cool.
- Chop it into pieces and place in a bowl.
- Pour the maple syrup over the top.
- Keep the bacon grease. You might want to place it in the freezer for a few minutes to chill because you’ll need it for the biscuits.
- Combine the dry ingredients in a large bowl.
- Dice the butter into half inch cubes and add to the dry mixture, along with the chilled bacon drippings & shredded cheese
- Combine until you have a crumbly mixture. You can use your hands, a fork, or a pastry cutter. Because your hands are warm and will melt the butter, it’s often better to use a pastry cutter or a fork.
- Add the buttermilk and bacon syrup mixture. Combine.
- Now you can roll your dough onto a well floured surface and use a biscuit cutter to make your biscuits, or you can make drop biscuits.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes.
Holy Smokes, these look amazing…pinned!
