Maple Bacon Pancakes
Fluffy bacon pancakes infused with maple syrup, then topped with crispy bacon and drizzled with rich, creamy maple syrup.
Ingredients
Pancakes:
- 3 slices of crispy bacon crumbled
- 1 cup low fat buttermilk
- 2 eggs
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
- 3 tbsp bacon grease from cooking the bacon
- ¼ cup pure maple syrup
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- ¼ tsp salt
Syrup:
- 4 tbsp powdered sugar
- ½ cup pure maple syrup hot
- 1 tbsp heavy cream
- Top off with some more crunchy bacon
Instructions
- Cook the bacon: Be sure to save some of the bacon grease after cooking.
- Pancakes: In a bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients until well combined. Gradually whisk in the dry ingredients, then fold in the crumbled bacon. Let the batter rest for about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat your cooking pan and prepare the sauce.
- Cooking the pancakes: Pour the batter into the preheated pan, cooking each pancake for 1-2 minutes per side. Gently press the center—if it feels firm, the pancakes are ready.
- Sauce: Warm the pure maple syrup first, then whisk in the powdered sugar, followed by the heavy cream.
- Serving: Top the pancakes with crispy bacon and generously drizzle the maple sauce over them. Enjoy!
