Ingredients

Units Scale

Biscuit Ingredients

  • 5 cups All-purpose Flour
  • 1/4 cup Sugar
  • 1 Tsp. Salt
  • 2 Tsp. Baking Powder
  • 1 Tsp. Baking Soda
  • 1 1/4 cup Butter (cold, cubed, divided)
  • 1/2 cup Shortening
  • 2 Packets Rapid Rise Instant Yeast (about 4 1/2 teaspoons)
  • 3 Tbsp. Warm Water (105–110 degrees)
  • 2 cups Whole Buttermilk (cold)

 

Maple Bacon Butter

  • 2 Slices Cooked Bacon (finely diced)
  • 1/2 cup Butter (softened)
  • 2 Tbsp. Real Maple Syrup

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, add flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt and whisk them together. Then add 1 cup(2 sticks) of cold cubed butter and the shortening.  Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter and shortening into the dry ingredients until they are about the size of a pea.
  2. In a mixing cup, add the yeast to the warm water(105-110 degrees), and mix it into a paste.
  3. Then, in a medium mixing cup or bowl, whisk the yeast paste into the cold buttermilk. Then, pour the buttermilk mixture into the flour mixture. Using a spatula, mix them together until they are combined. Then, use your fingers to mix in any lumps and form into a dough ball (the dough should have a sticky consistency).
  4. On a lightly floured surface, pat out the dough until it is about an inch thick.  Then using a 2-inch biscuit cutter, cut out each biscuit and place them in a pre-greased cast-iron skillet (you may need a second skillet). Each biscuit should touch each other (this will make the biscuits rise taller in the skillet). Cover the skillet with plastic wrap and place it in a warm spot for about one hour to rise
  5. While the biscuits are rising, finely dice the cooked bacon, and add it into the softened butter. Then, thoroughly mix in the real maple syrup and set it aside.
  6. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Uncover the biscuits and bake for about 16 minutes, then brush with some melted butter on top and bake for an additional 1 to 2 minutes until they are light golden brown. Let the cool for about 10 minutes before serving
  7. Spread the delicious maple bacon butter on these heavenly Angel Biscuits, and enjoy!
