Enjoy both pancakes and bacon in the same breakfast dish with this recipe. Crispy bacon in fluffy pancakes, served with butter and real maple syrup are to die for.
12 bacon strips
1 egg
2 T. canola oil
1 c. milk
1 c. flour
1/4 t. salt
2 T. sugar
2 T. baking powder
butter and maple syrup, for serving
In a skillet, cook the bacon until slightly crispy according to package instructions. Transfer cooked bacon on a paper towel lined plate to drain. Reserve a bit of the bacon grease for cooking the pancakes.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg, oil, and milk.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, sugar, and baking powder. Combine the wet and dry ingredients; mix well.
Finely chop 4 of the cooked bacon strips; mix into the pancake mix.
Heat the skillet used to cook the bacon to medium heat. Place a couple bacon strips in the skillet; pour some pancake batter over each strip, just enough to cover each one individually.
Cook the pancakes until bubbles begin to form on the top; flip over each pancake. Cook until the pancakes are golden on both sides. Repeat with the remaining bacon and pancake batter.
Serve immediately with butter and maple syrup.
Makes 8 pancakes.
