Ingredient List
Simple ingredients, epic breakfast flavor. You’re going to want these mouthwatering bacon pancakes all the time.
Bacon: Crumble some into the batter for salty pieces in every bite, and reserve a few whole pieces to add inside each pancake. The more bacon the better, right? Also, reserve some of the bacon grease to cook the pancakes in. It adds so much flavor! Egg: Binds everything together and keeps these pancakes light and airy. Canola Oil: Makes the pancakes tender. Milk: Any kind you like! I used whole milk to make my pancakes extra rich. Flour: Give the pancakes their structure. All-purpose works just fine. Don’t overmix! A few lumps are okay. Salt: Just a pinch to enhance flavors. Sugar: A touch of sweetness to complement the salty bacon. Go easy, the maple syrup will add plenty more sweetness soon enough. Baking Powder: Our magical leavening agent. No sad, flat pancakes here!
