Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 4 strips bacon
- Maple syrup
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1 cup of milk, 1 large egg, 2 tablespoons of melted butter, 4 strips of bacon, and maple syrup.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until well combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together the milk, large egg, and melted butter until smooth and fully incorporated.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. While the skillet is heating, cook the bacon strips in a separate pan until crispy. Once done, remove the bacon and place it on a paper towel to absorb excess grease.
- In the same skillet or griddle, pour about 1/4 cup of pancake batter for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
- Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and keep warm on a plate.
- Repeat the process with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the skillet if necessary.
- To serve, stack the pancakes on a plate, top with crispy bacon strips, and drizzle generously with maple syrup.
- Enjoy your delicious Syrup n Fried Egg Bacon Pancakes!
Tips
- Don't overmix your batter! Lumpy batter is the secret to light, fluffy pancakes. Stirring too much can make them tough and dense.
- Use a non-stick skillet or griddle and ensure it's properly heated before pouring batter. The right temperature (medium heat) is crucial for even cooking.
- Cook bacon until extra crispy to provide a delightful crunch contrast to the soft pancakes.
- For picture-perfect pancakes, use a 1/4 cup measuring cup to ensure consistent size and even cooking.
- Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low-temperature oven (around 200°F) while preparing the rest to serve everything hot and fresh.
- Don't be afraid to experiment - add a sprinkle of chocolate chips or a dash of cinnamon to the batter for extra flavor!
