# Ingredients:
→ Dry Ingredients
01 -
1 tsp baking soda
02 -
1 tsp baking powder
03 -
2 tbsp brown sugar
04 -
1/4 tsp salt
05 -
2 cups all-purpose flour
→ Wet Ingredients
06 -
2 small eggs
07 -
1 cup milk (works great with non-dairy options too)
08 -
1 tsp vanilla extract
→ Other Ingredients
09 -
3 tbsp butter for cooking
10 -
8 oz diced, cooked bacon strips
# Steps:
01 -
In a blender, combine eggs, milk, a splash of vanilla, baking powder, soda, salt, and brown sugar. Blend slightly. Then, add the flour and pulse it just until smooth. No blender? Grab a bowl and whisk, but sift the flour if you can—it’ll keep it lump-free. Don’t overdo the mixing, so your pancakes stay fluffy.
02 -
Dice the bacon, toss it into a hot skillet, and cook until it's golden and crunchy. Spoon out the bacon bits and hold on to that smoky grease—it’s gold for flavor!
03 -
Warm up the skillet over medium-low heat. Pop in a bit of butter if needed. Pour some batter in, and sprinkle bacon bits on the batter as it cooks. Let it sizzle for a minute or two—when bubbles pop on top, it’s time to flip. Keep going with the rest of the batter!
04 -
Eat while they’re hot! Drizzle on maple syrup, add a bit of butter, or scatter over some bacon for extra yum. If you’re making a bunch, keep them toasty in a warm oven until you’re ready to dive in.
# Notes and Tips:
01 -
Use leftover bacon grease in the pan—it adds amazing flavor! Too greasy? Pour some out, but toss in a dab of butter if the skillet dries out as you cook.
