# Ingredients:
→ Pancake Batter
01 -
130 grams all-purpose flour
02 -
25 grams granulated sugar
03 -
6 grams baking powder
04 -
2 grams baking soda
05 -
3 grams coarse salt
06 -
300 millilitres buttermilk
07 -
28 grams unsalted butter, melted
08 -
1 large egg
→ Bacon & Toppings
09 -
8 slices bacon
10 -
Butter, for cooking and serving
11 -
Maple syrup, for serving
# Instructions:
01 -
Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together buttermilk, melted butter, and egg until fully blended. Create a well in the dry ingredients, add the wet mixture, and stir gently until just combined; small lumps may remain. Allow the batter to rest briefly.
02 -
Cook bacon strips in a large skillet over medium-high heat until the fat renders and the bacon is crisp. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain, then chop into small, bite-sized pieces. Discard or reserve a tablespoon of rendered fat for cooking the pancakes. Wipe out the skillet if needed.
03 -
Return the skillet to medium heat or preheat an electric griddle to 175°C. Add a small amount of butter or reserved bacon fat to coat the surface.
04 -
Pour approximately 60 ml of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Sprinkle chopped bacon pieces over the batter. Cook for about 2 minutes, or until bubbles appear and begin to burst on the surface. Flip and cook an additional minute until golden brown underneath. Transfer pancakes to a plate, with the bacon side facing upwards.
05 -
Repeat with remaining batter and bacon, adding more butter as required. Keep finished pancakes warm in a 95°C oven or covered with foil. Serve immediately with additional butter and warm maple syrup.
# Notes:
01 -
Cutting raw bacon directly into the skillet with kitchen shears can streamline preparation.
02 -
Adjust pancake size to preference; yield may vary depending on diameter.
03 -
Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or in the freezer for 3 months.
04 -
Ensure precise measuring of flour by spooning into the cup and leveling for consistent results.
