Bacon Pancakes

Chef Jenn
Bacon Pancakes are the kind of breakfast that feels special but doesn’t take all morning. They’re salty, fluffy, and always a hit at the table.

Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 12 bacon slices
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 cups whole buttermilk
  • 2 large eggs beaten
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted
  • Maple syrup for serving

Instructions
 

  • Preheat a griddle to 350°F so it's ready for the bacon and pancakes.
  • Arrange the bacon strips in a single layer. Cook until crisp, 8 to 10 minutes, flipping as needed. Move to a paper towel-lined plate and wipe the griddle clean.
  • Whisk the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a large bowl.
  • Add the buttermilk and eggs. Stir to combine, then mix in the melted butter. Let the batter sit for 5 minutes to thicken.
  • Place the cooked bacon strips a few inches apart on the griddle.
  • Pour about 1/4 cup of batter directly over each strip.
  • Cook until bubbles form and the edges set, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip each pancake with a wide spatula.
  • Flip and continue cooking another 3 to 4 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  • Repeat with the rest of the bacon and batter. Keep finished pancakes warm in a 200°F oven while you work.
  • Serve hot with maple syrup or your favorite toppings.

Notes

Chef Jenn’s Tips

  • Go for a griddle or large cast-iron pan so you can work in batches without overcrowding.
  • Letting the batter rest for 5 minutes makes a noticeable difference in texture.
  • Bacon can be made ahead and quickly reheated on the griddle.
  • After cooking the bacon, reduce the heat slightly if the griddle is running too hot.
