Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir until just combined; the batter should be slightly lumpy. Fold in the crumbled bacon.

Heat a fish-shaped pancake mold or a regular skillet over medium heat and brush with the reserved bacon fat. Pour batter into the mold or small rounds, filling about halfway.
