Step-by-Step Instructions

Here’s how to make Bacon Pancakes:

Prepare the Beef Bacon:

1. Cook the Beef Bacon: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the beef bacon and cook, turning occasionally, until crispy and golden, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside on paper towels to drain excess fat. Once cooled, crumble or chop the bacon into small pieces.

Make the Pancake Batter:

2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. Add Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
4. Combine the Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
5. Stir in the Bacon: Gently fold in the crumbled beef bacon into the pancake batter.

Cook the Pancakes:

6. Heat the Skillet: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
7. Cook the Pancakes: Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip the pancake and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
8. Keep Warm: Place cooked pancakes on a plate and cover loosely with aluminum foil to keep warm while you cook the remaining pancakes.

Serve and Enjoy:

9. Serve: Stack the pancakes on plates, drizzle with maple syrup (or halal syrup), and garnish with extra beef bacon pieces if desired. Serve immediately while hot.
