Waffle Iron Bacon Pancakes

These bacon pancakes made in a waffle iron are a tasty take on regular pancakes. The waffle iron gives them a unique shape and texture, and the crispy bacon gives them a savory, smoky taste that goes well with the sweet maple syrup.

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 egg
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• 4-6 strips of cooked bacon, crumbled
• Maple syrup for serving

Instructions:

Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturers instructions

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt

In another bowl, beat the egg and then add the buttermilk and melted butter

Mix well

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined

Be careful not to overmix; its okay if there are a few lumps

Gently fold in the crumbled bacon into the pancake batter

Grease the waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray or a small amount of melted butter

Pour enough batter into the waffle iron to cover the waffle grids but not too much to avoid overflow

Close the lid and cook until the pancakes are golden brown and crispy
