Bacon Shortcakes With Peanut Butter Whipped Cream Recipes

Steps:

• Position a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
• Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. Remove from the skillet onto a paper towel-lined plate. Strain the bacon drippings and reserve.
• Whisk the flour, 2 tablespoons of the confectioners' sugar, baking soda and salt together in a large bowl. Whisk the buttermilk, peanut butter and 1 tablespoon bacon fat in a medium bowl until smooth. Add the chopped bacon.
• Add the buttermilk mixture to the flour mixture and quickly mix with a rubber spatula to form a shaggy dough. Turn the dough out onto a clean work surface and pat into a circle, about 9-inches wide. Cut into 8 wedges. Evenly space the wedges on the prepared baking sheet.
• Combine 1 teaspoon of the bacon drippings with the milk and remaining 4 tablespoons confectioners' sugar in a small bowl. Brush some the glaze on top of each scone (there will be some left). Sprinkle with the chopped peanuts. Bake until the tops of scones are lightly golden, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a rack and brush or drizzle with the remaining glaze while they cool. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Add the cream, cookie butter and confectioners' sugar to a large bowl if using a hand mixer or to a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Beat on medium-high speed until it holds medium peaks, 5 to 7 minutes. Serve spooned over a slice of pie or topping a mug of coffee or hot chocolate.

Steps:

• Put the cream, sugar and vanilla in a well chilled bowl or in a bowl over ice. Beat with an electric hand mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, about 2 minutes.

Steps:

• Combine cream, powdered sugar, peanut butter, and vanilla extract in a bowl.
• Beat with an electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Store in the refrigerator.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200 degrees. In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, whisk together buttermilk, melted butter, and egg. Whisk flour mixture into buttermilk mixture just until moistened, with small to medium lumps remaining.
• In a large cast-iron or nonstick skillet or on a griddle, cook bacon over medium-high until fat is rendered and bacon is browned on one side, 5 to 6 minutes. Flip and cook until golden and crisp on underside, 1 to 3 minutes. Drain bacon on paper towels; pour off all but 1 teaspoon fat from skillet (reserve for another use).
• Heat skillet over medium. Pour 1/4-cupfuls batter into skillet and top each with a bacon slice. Cook until some bubbles appear on top of pancakes and a few have burst, about 2 minutes. With a spatula, carefully flip pancakes and cook until browned on underside, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a platter, bacon side up, and loosely tent with foil. Keep pancakes warm in oven and repeat with remaining batter, adding more bacon fat if needed. Serve with pure maple syrup, if desired.
