15 ml maple syrup, plus extra for brushing

1 egg, beaten

# Steps:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 190°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 -
In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until browned. Stir in ketchup and mustard, then cook for 1 minute. Remove from heat.
03 -
Flatten each biscuit dough round into a 10 cm circle using your hands or a rolling pin.
04 -
Place a spoonful of the beef mixture in the center of each dough circle. Top with shredded cheddar and chopped bacon. Drizzle with a little maple syrup.
05 -
Fold the edges of the dough over the filling to encase, pinching to seal completely and form a ball. Place seam-side down on the baking sheet.
06 -
Brush each ball with beaten egg and a little maple syrup. Sprinkle with sesame seeds if using.
07 -
Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until golden brown.
08 -
Let cool for several minutes before serving to allow the filling to set.
# Notes & Tips:
01 -
For extra sweetness, use maple-candied bacon in place of regular bacon.
02 -
These can be frozen after baking and reheated in the oven.
03 -
Serve with pickles or a dipping sauce such as chipotle mayo or BBQ ranch.
