Maple Bacon Pancakes

Ingredients

• All-purpose flour (1 1/2 cups)
• Baking powder (2 teaspoons)
• Salt (1/2 teaspoon)
• Eggs (2, large)
• Milk (1 cup)
• Maple syrup (1/4 cup, plus more for serving)
• Unsalted butter (2 tablespoons, melted, plus more for greasing)
• Bacon (6 slices, cooked and crumbled)

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
2. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until frothy. Add the milk, maple syrup, and melted butter, then mix well until fully incorporated.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure fluffy pancakes.
4. Fold in the crumbled bacon, distributing it evenly throughout the batter.
5. Preheat a griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease with additional melted butter or cooking spray.
6. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.
7. Serve the pancakes warm, drizzled with additional maple syrup and topped with extra bacon crumbles for that perfect sweet and savory finish.
