Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to whip up a batch of these breakfast beauties:
- 12 slices of bacon
- 1 ⅓ cups flour, sifted
- 3 tsp baking powder
- ½ cup sugar
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tbsp cooking oil
How to Make Bacon Pancake Directions
- Cook the bacon
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange bacon slices in a single layer. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until perfectly crispy. Remove from the oven and set aside. - Make the pancake batter
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. In a separate bowl, combine the eggs, milk, and oil. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and stir just until moistened—don’t overmix! Lumps are totally okay. - Cook the pancake dippers
Heat a griddle or large nonstick skillet and give it a quick grease. Lay out a few slices of cooked bacon on the surface, spaced about 3 inches apart. Spoon pancake batter around and on top of each slice. When bubbles form, flip and cook until golden on both sides. - Serve warm
Repeat with remaining bacon and batter. Serve with warm maple syrup for dipping and watch them disappear.
Pro Tips:
- Want extra flavor? Sprinkle cinnamon into your batter or add a dash of vanilla extract.
- Need to make these ahead? Cook and freeze. Reheat in the toaster oven or microwave.
- Hosting brunch? Keep warm in the oven on low while you finish the batch.
