Steps:
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees. In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, whisk together buttermilk, melted butter, and egg. Whisk flour mixture into buttermilk mixture just until moistened, with small to medium lumps remaining.
- In a large cast-iron or nonstick skillet or on a griddle, cook bacon over medium-high until fat is rendered and bacon is browned on one side, 5 to 6 minutes. Flip and cook until golden and crisp on underside, 1 to 3 minutes. Drain bacon on paper towels; pour off all but 1 teaspoon fat from skillet (reserve for another use).
- Heat skillet over medium. Pour 1/4-cupfuls batter into skillet and top each with a bacon slice. Cook until some bubbles appear on top of pancakes and a few have burst, about 2 minutes. With a spatula, carefully flip pancakes and cook until browned on underside, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a platter, bacon side up, and loosely tent with foil. Keep pancakes warm in oven and repeat with remaining batter, adding more bacon fat if needed. Serve with pure maple syrup, if desired.

Steps:
- Combine the sausage and bacon in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and cook until the bacon is crisp and the sausage is browned and cooked through, about 8 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the sausage and bacon to paper towels to drain and cool.
- Whisk the flour, cornstarch, confectioners' sugar, baking powder, baking soda and 1/4 teaspoon salt together in a large bowl. Whisk the milk, butter and 2 of the eggs together in a medium bowl. Add the milk mixture to the flour mixture and stir until ingredients are just incorporated and batter is thick (it¿s okay if there are some lumps). Stir in the cheese and let the batter rest for 5 minutes.
- Wipe out the skillet and heat over medium-low. Crack 2 eggs in the skillet, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and cook until the whites are almost set, about 3 minutes. Taking care not to burst the yolks, ladle 1/4 cup of the pancake batter over each egg to cover it completely; sprinkle each pancake with 2 heaping tablespoons of the bacon-sausage mixture and cook until bubbles break at the edges, 1 minute and 30 seconds.
- Gently flip each batter-covered egg and cook until the underside of the pancake is golden brown, the egg whites are fully cooked and the yolks are still runny, about 1 minute and 30 seconds more.
- Serve the finished pancakes immediately as they are ready with maple syrup, ketchup and hot sauce on the side. Repeat with the remaining eggs, batter and sausage mixture to make more pancakes. Reduce heat if pancakes are browning too quickly.

PANCAKES WITH BACON AND MAPLE SYRUP

Time 15m
Yield makes about 15 pancakes if cooked in a blini pan; or if not,
Number Of Ingredients 11
Steps:
- Melt the butter and set aside to cool slightly while you get on with the rest of the batter and the bacon.
- In a large, wide-necked measuring cup, measure out the flour and add the baking powder, sugar and salt. Stir to combine.
- In another cup, measure the milk, beat in the eggs and then the slightly cooled butter, and pour the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking as you do so. Or just put everything in a blender and blitz.
- In the vegetable oil, fry the bacon (cut into half crosswise) or the pancetta strips until crisp, remove to paper towels and cover with more paper towels (not because I'm fat-phobic - as if! - but because this will help them keep their requisite crispness). Now, heat either a griddle or nonstick frying pan, smear with a small bit of butter and then start frying. I just pour small amounts straight from the cup (but you could use a 1/4-cup measure if you prefer) so that you have wiggly circumferenced disks. When you see bubbles erupting on the surface, turn the pancakes over and cook for a couple of minutes, if that, on the other side.
- Or use a blini pan and, as just described, turn when the bubbles break through to the uncooked surface. There is a Russian saying to the effect that the first pancake is always botched, so be prepared to sacrifice the initial offering to unceremonious stoveside gobbling.
- Pile the pancakes onto plate, wigwam with pieces of crispy bacon or pancetta and dribble or pour over, depending on greed and capacity, that clear, brown, woodily fragrant syrup.

Steps:
- Cook bacon in two batches in a large skillet over medium-low heat, turning occasionally, until crisp, 6 to 7 minutes. Drain bacon on paper towels, then break into 3/4- to 1-inch pieces. Reserve drippings, and wipe out skillet.
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk together buttermilk, syrup, eggs, and butter. Add to flour mixture, and whisk until just combined (batter will have lumps).
- Heat 1 teaspoon drippings in skillet over medium-low heat. For each pancake, arrange some of the bacon pieces in a circle in skillet. Slowly pour 1/3 cup batter over bacon, starting in center and moving outward in a swirling motion to prevent bacon from shifting. Cook until small bubbles form on surface. Flip, and cook until golden brown. Transfer pancakes to a baking sheet, and keep warm in oven. Repeat with remaining bacon and batter. Serve with syrup.

BACON AND APPLE PANCAKES (PANNEKOEKEN)
Pancakes (pannekoeken) are a Dutch tradition. There are pancake houses all over the Netherlands. As a kid I loved to go to the pancake house. Typically they make the pancakes very large and serve them for any meal. The pancake is generally served with powdered sugar or heavy Dutch syrup (stroop), and the menu typically offers quite a variety including ham and pineapple, ham and cheese, apple and raisins, assorted fruit, mushrooms, or my favorite - bacon and apple. This recipe was posted on About.com by Karin Engelbrecht, their guide to Dutch Food.

Steps:
- Mix flour, baking powder, salt and a little of the milk to a smooth paste. Slowly add the remaining milk, while whisking. Add the egg, beating the mixture well. For a lighter texture, leave to rest for a few hours or overnight.
- Melt the butter and oil in a large frying pan and wait until it sizzles. Pour in enough of the mixture to cover the entire surface of the pan (spread the mixture evenly by tilting the pan). Bake until bubbles appear on the surface and turn over. Pancakes should be pale golden on both sides. Set aside and keep warm.
- Fry bacon in the pan until crisp. Remove to a paper towel to drain. Now add the sliced apples to the bacon fat and caramelize. Drain on paper towels. Serve pancakes open-faced on the plate, top with apples and bacon and drizzle some syrup on top.

Steps:
- 1. * NOTE: Use real, homemade https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/side/side-potatoes/mashed-potatoes-2.html?p=2 that have been refrigerated (the consistency should be firm.) This recipe will not work with instant mashed potatoes. Recipe may be doubled or tripled.
- 2. Gather and prep ingredients.
- 3. To a large, nonstick skillet, over medium-low heat, add butter.
- 4. In a medium size bowl, mix together mashed potatoes, bacon bits and cheese.
- 5. Divide into 4 equal portions. (If doubling or tripling recipe, work in batches. Do not overcrowd pan. Four pancakes per pan is ideal.)
- 6. Increase heat to medium/medium-high; one by one, form each portion into a ball, then flatten (as if making hamburger patties) and place in skillet with melted butter.
- 7. Fry the first side for approximately 5 minutes, until golden brown; carefully turn pancakes over and fry for additional 3 to 4 minutes, until golden brown on each side. (Do not attempt to turn the pancakes for a second time. They are fragile and you will probably end up with a mess.)
- 8. Carefully remove to serving plate. Serve as soon as possible or keep warm until served.
Tips:
- Choose the Right Bacon: Use thick-cut bacon for a more substantial pancake. Thicker bacon will also hold up better to the cooking process and will not crumble as easily.
- Cook the Bacon Properly: Make sure the bacon is cooked all the way through before adding it to the pancake batter. Undercooked bacon can make the pancakes greasy and unpleasant to eat.
- Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter will make the pancakes tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
- Use a Hot Griddle: A hot griddle will help the pancakes cook evenly and prevent them from sticking. If the griddle is not hot enough, the pancakes will be soggy and undercooked.
- Flip the Pancakes Carefully: Pancakes are delicate, so be careful when flipping them. Use a spatula that is large enough to support the entire pancake and flip it in one quick motion.
- Serve the Pancakes Immediately: Pancakes are best served immediately after they are cooked. This will ensure that they are hot and fluffy. If you need to keep the pancakes warm, place them in a warm oven or on a warming tray.
Conclusion:
Bacon pancakes are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast dish. By following these tips, you can make perfect bacon pancakes every time. Whether you are serving them for a special occasion or a casual weekend breakfast, bacon pancakes are sure to be a hit.
