Servings: 8 - 12 servings
skillet
small saucepan
large ziplock bag
- 12 ounces bacon, chopped and cooked
- ½ cup butter
- ¾ cup brown sugar, packed
- ⅓ cup pure maple syrup (not pancake syrup)
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, divided
- 2 16 ounce packages Pillsburry Grands Buttermilk Biscuits (do not use flaky layers)
Preheat and Prep Bacon: Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a bundt pan thoroughly. Chop the bacon into ½ inch pieces and cook them in a large skillet over medium heat, stirring often until done. Once crispy, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
Cut Biscuits: Take your refrigerated biscuits and cut each one into quarters, then set them aside for coating.
Make Maple Glaze: In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and add the brown sugar, stirring until the sugar has completely dissolved. Stir in the maple syrup to finish the glaze.
Coat Biscuits: Combine the granulated sugar and 1½ teaspoons of cinnamon in a gallon-sized ziplock bag and shake. Add 8–10 biscuit pieces at a time and shake to coat; if the mixture starts loking light, add the remaining ½ teaspoon of cinnamon to the bag.
Layer and Bake: Place one-third of the cooked bacon in the bottom of the bundt pan and arrange half of the biscuits on top. Drizzle with one-third of the maple glaze, sprinkle with half of the remaining bacon, and repeat the layers before baking for 45–50 minutes.
Cool and Serve: Remove the pan from the oven and let it sit for 10 minutes. Flip the pan over onto a serving dish and gently tap the sides to release the bread before serving warm.
