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.
