Instructions
Main
Step 1
*Banner Butter is a high fat butter, so it results in a fluffier and flakier biscuit, but if you cannot find it regular salted butter is fine.
Step 2
Set the EGG for indirect cooking with the convEGGtor at 450°F/232°C and preheat a Cast Iron Skillet.
Step 3
Add the bacon to the skillet; stir every 2 minutes until crispy. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel to cool and reserve the fat.
Step 4
In a bowl combine flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda. Grate cold butter into the flour mixture with the bacon fat and work quickly to combine it. Add the buttermilk slowly and knead until the dough is tacky and no longer sticky. It is important to work quickly so your butter stays cold. Fold in the bacon bits.
Step 5
Form 10 biscuits about 2 inch (5 cm) thick and place in a Big Green Egg Deep Dish Baking Stone, coated lightly in bacon fat to prevent sticking. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown and fluffy.
Step 6
Drizzle with the butterscotch and serve.
