7th Day of Christmas: 7 Bacon Pancakes

Sharman - Saturday, December 7, 2013

A year ago my friend Gavin shared a video with me called bacon pancakes from a show called ‘Adventure Time’. The clip is silly but oh-so catchy, and worse, it makes you instantly want bacon pancakes. Click here to be sucked in by a cartoon dog making pancakes… making bacon pancakes.

So for the 7th day of Christmas my friend Gavin has inspired me to make 7 Bacon Pancakes! I used The Local Omnivores bacon from Acme Meat Market and scored the recipe from Martha Stewart’s website and it is actually quite tasty.

Bacon Pancakes

Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour, (spooned and leveled)
2 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1 1/4 cups buttermilk
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 large egg
8 slices bacon
Pure maple syrup

 

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 200 degrees. In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, whisk together buttermilk, melted butter, and egg. Whisk flour mixture into buttermilk mixture just until moistened, with small to medium lumps remaining.
  2. In a large cast-iron or nonstick skillet or on a griddle, cook baconover medium-high until fat is rendered and bacon is browned on one side, 5 to 6 minutes. Flip and cook until golden and crisp on underside, 1 to 3 minutes. Drain bacon on paper towels; pour off all but 1 teaspoon fat from skillet (reserve for another use).
  3. Heat skillet over medium. Pour 1/4-cupfuls batter into skillet and top each with a bacon slice. Cook until some bubbles appear on top of pancakes and a few have burst, about 2 minutes. With a spatula, carefully flip pancakes and cook until browned on underside, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a platter, bacon side up, and loosely tent with foil. Keep pancakes warm in oven and repeat with remaining batter, adding more bacon fat if needed. Serve with pure maple syrup if desired.
