Bacon Pancakes Sweet Savory (Print Format)

Fluffy pancakes with crispy bacon offer a balanced, sweet and savory breakfast, finished with maple syrup or butter.

# Ingredients:

→ Dry Ingredients

01 - 2 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 1 tsp baking powder
03 - 1 tsp baking soda
04 - 1/4 tsp salt
05 - 2 tbsp brown sugar

→ Wet Ingredients

06 - 1 cup milk (non-dairy milk also works)
07 - 1 tsp vanilla extract
08 - 2 small eggs

→ Other Ingredients

09 - 8 oz bacon strips, diced and cooked
10 - 3 tbsp butter for cooking

# Steps:

01 - Mix milk with vanilla extract, eggs, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and brown sugar in a blender. Pulse until combined. Add flour and blend briefly until smooth. If using a mixing bowl and whisk, sift the flour before combining to avoid lumps. Mix until ingredients are just combined, avoiding overmixing to ensure fluffy pancakes.
02 - Heat a skillet and cook diced bacon until browned and crispy. Remove bacon from the skillet and set aside, leaving bacon grease in the skillet for added flavor.
03 - Using the same skillet, place it over medium-low heat and add 1 tbsp butter if necessary. Drop pancake batter into the skillet and sprinkle cooked bacon over the runny batter. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until edges begin to settle. Flip when bubbles form on the surface, indicating the bottom is cooked. Repeat with remaining batter.
04 - Serve warm with maple syrup, butter, or extra bacon as toppings. For large batches, keep pancakes warm in a low-temperature oven until ready to serve.

# Tips:

01 - Retain a thin layer of bacon grease in the skillet for a rich, smoky flavor. If the skillet feels too greasy, drain excess. Add butter if the skillet dries out during cooking.
