Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 2 16-ounce cans canned buttermilk biscuits
  • ¼ cup melted unsalted butter
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 5 slices bacon

Frosting Ingredients

  • 4 ounces full-fat cream cheese
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon maple flavored extract

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Rub about 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil on the bottom of an 8-inch skillet and set aside.
  • Open the 2 (16-ounce) canned buttermilk biscuits and remove them from the can. Using a rolling pin, roll each biscuit very flat and thin.
  • In a small bowl, add the ¼ cup melted unsalted butter. In another bowl, combine the ¾ cup granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon.
  • Dip each biscuit in the melted butter, shake off the excess, then coat in the cinnamon sugar mixture covering both sides.
  • Roll up each biscuit and place them around the edge of the skillet, spiraling towards the center.

Baking

  • Bake for 18-20 minutes in the preheated oven. If the outside cooks faster than the inside, tent the outer edges with foil.

Making the Frosting

  • While baking, cook and crumble the 5 slices of bacon into small pieces.
  • In a medium bowl, combine 4 ounces of cream cheese and 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Mix with an electric hand mixer until smooth.
  • Add 2 cups powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and ½ teaspoon maple flavored extract. Mix until smooth and combined.

Finishing

  • Remove the skillet from the oven and let cool for about 5-7 minutes.
  • Drizzle the frosting on top then sprinkle on the crumbled bacon. Enjoy!

Notes

Best served warm. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven.
