Bacon Pancakes

Directions

1. 1

   Preheat a griddle or frying pan to medium-high heat and add the butter, allowing it to melt and coat the surface.

2. 2

   Add the streaky bacon and cook until about three-quarters done, turning occasionally so it starts to crisp but is still slightly flexible.

3. 3

   In a bowl or shaker, mix the pancake batter with buttermilk, aiming for a slightly thick consistency, adding more liquid if needed to loosen it.

4. 4

   Sprinkle the light brown sugar onto the cooking surface so it mixes with the butter and bacon fat and begins to caramelize.

5. 5

   Pour or squeeze pancake batter over and around the bacon, coating it or embedding it into the batter to form pancake-coated bacon pieces.

6. 6

   Cook until the underside is golden and set, then flip and cook the other side until fully cooked through and lightly caramelized.

7. 7

   For variation, you can fully coat the bacon in batter or partially cover it to create different textures and finishes.

8. 8

   Remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly so the caramelized sugar sets.

9. 9

   Serve warm with maple syrup for dipping or drizzling over the top.
