• 1/2 cup Maple Bacon grease (reserved while cooking)
• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 2 pounds brown sugar
• 1/4 cup Loveless Cafe Maple Syrup
• 1/4 cup water
• 1 bag Loveless Cafe Biscuit mix
• 2 2/3 + 3/4 cup whole buttermik (do not use low fat)
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 1/2 cups raisins or craisins or chocolate chips
• 3 tablespoons cinnamon
• all purpose flour (about 1 cup for rolling)
• parchment paper or wax paper (for easy clean-up)

Directions

1. ​Preheat oven to 350*F.
2. Grease two 9 x 13 pans well; set aside or 2 - 12 inch cast-iron skillets
3. Cook Loveless Cafe Maple Bacon to package instructions, crisp, reserve grease; set aside. Chop bacon when it is cool and divide into 4 equal portions.
4. To make caramel, bring butter, bacon grease, brown sugar, water and maple syrup to a boil until smooth; set aside.
5. In a separate bowl, mix together granulated sugar, raisins and cinnamon; set aside.
6. On your work space place a sheet of parchment paper or wax paper dust with flour.
7. In a large mixing bowl, pour in your Loveless Cafe Biscuit Mix (if it’s lumpy, work the lumps out with your hands), then add your 2 2/3 cups of buttermilk, mix until buttermilk is incorporated, dough will be sticky.
8. Place 1/2 the biscuit dough on the flour, dust liberally with more flour on top and fold the dough 2-3 times, adding more flour if necessary.
9. Roll your dough into rectangle.
10. Brush liberally with buttermilk and sprinkle with half of the raisin and sugar mixture and 1/4 of the chopped bacon, keeping one long edge of the dough wet but clean of the raisin and sugar mixture so the roll will seal. Repeat with second half of dough.

12. Pour the caramel into the two greased pans in equal portions, sprinkle each pan with 1/4 of the chopped bacon.
13. Place the slices of biscuit roll into the mixture, nesting them into the caramel and making sure they are not over crowded in the pan.
