Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1.25 cups milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 8 slices bacon
  • ½ cup maple syrup

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a large bowl, whisk together the 1.5 cups flour, 2 tsp baking powder, and 0.5 tsp salt. In another bowl, beat the 1 egg with 1.25 cups milk and 2 tbsp melted butter.

  2. 2

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir until just combined; the batter should be lumpy. Do not overmix.

  3. 3

    Cook the 8 bacon slices in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and pour off most of the fat, leaving a thin coating.

  4. 4

    Return the skillet to medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup of batter per pancake and cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook until golden brown, another 1-2 minutes.

  5. 5

    Repeat with the remaining batter, adding the remaining 1 tbsp butter to the skillet as needed. Keep pancakes warm.

  6. 6

    Serve the pancakes topped with a pat of butter, crispy bacon, and a generous drizzle of maple syrup.
