Instructions

Cook bacon in a skillet on top of the stove. Drain, dice and set aside. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda and cheese in a bowl.

Grate the butter into the flour mixture and mix till resembles coarse crumbs. Add in diced bacon.

Whisk together the buttermilk and maple syrup and add to the mixture. Pour the dough out onto a floured surface and knead 6 or 7 times. I used a two inch biscuit cutter and placed biscuits on an ungreased baking sheet.
