1 tsp baking powder
03 -
1 tsp baking soda
04 -
1/4 tsp salt
05 -
2 tbsp brown sugar
→ Wet Ingredients

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.
