Bacon Fried Pancakes Recipes

BACON POTATO PANCAKES

Steps:

• Cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain; let cool and crumble. Reserve bacon drippings in skillet.
• Combine crumbled bacon, potatoes, flour, eggs, garlic, thyme, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl.
• Pour vegetable oil about 1/4-inch deep into skillet with bacon drippings and place over medium heat; heat until the oil and bacon drippings shimmer.
• Gently drop potato mixture by heaping tablespoon into hot oil and flatten potatoes into small patties about 3 inches in diameter. Cook until browned, about 3 minutes on each side.

BACON FAT PANCAKES

Steps:

• Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Beat the eggs in a separate bowl, then whisk in the milk and vanilla.
• Melt the bacon fat in a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Pour the melted bacon fat into the milk mixture, then add the wet ingredients to the flour mixture and whisk until a thick batter is just formed.
• Keeping the skillet at medium heat, ladle about 1/4 cup of the batter into the skillet to form a pancake. Add 1 or 2 more pancakes, making sure they're evenly spaced so they don't touch. Cook until bubbles break the surface of the pancakes and the undersides are golden brown, about 2 minutes. Flip with a spatula and cook about 1 minute more on the second side. Remove to a plate.
• Brush the skillet with a thin film of bacon fat. Repeat with the remaining batter, forming pancakes and brushing the skillet with bacon fat as needed between batches. Serve the pancakes with warm maple syrup.

PANCAKE-DIPPED BACON STICKS

Steps:

• Heat 2 cups oil in a large pot.
• Combine pancake mix, milk, eggs, and 2 tablespoons oil in a bowl. Stir until large lumps disappear, but do not overmix. Let stand 3 to 4 minutes to thicken. Add water, brown sugar, and white sugar. Mix to combine.
• Dip bacon in batter and deep fry, turning slices over until lightly golden brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

BRIE-STUFFED PANCAKES WITH CRISPY BACON

Steps:

• Heat the grill to high and grill the bacon for 5 mins until crisp, turning halfway through. Set aside and keep warm. Tip the flour, baking powder, sugar and a large pinch of salt into a large bowl, then gradually whisk in the eggs and milk until you have a smooth, thick batter.
• Heat a splash of the oil and small knob of the butter in a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat until sizzling. Spoon in 1 tbsp of the batter and spread out to a rough 10cm circle with the back of the spoon. Top with a few slices of the brie, a pinch of the grated cheddar, and 1½ tbsp more of the pancake batter - the batter should cover all the cheese. Don't worry if the batter starts to spread - you can shape it by pushing the cheese back toward the centre using a spatula. Cook for 2-3 mins until bubbles start to form on the surface, then carefully flip and cook for 2 mins more. Keep warm while repeating the process with the rest of the oil, butter, batter and cheese. Serve topped with some salted butter and the crispy bacon.

BACON FRIED PANCAKES

Steps:

• Cook bacon in skillet over medium heat until done on each side. Make pancake batter according to directions. Drain bacon on paper towels. Keep the heat on medium. If there is a lot of smoke, turn down the heat to medium-low. Pour about 1/4 to 1/3 cup of batter into the drippings for each pancake. Fit as many as you can in skillet. Cook pancakes until bubbles appear on top and flip them over on the other side as you would normally cook pancakes. Drain them on paper towels. I like to put another paper towel over them and press a bit to drain any excess fat. Serve with your choice of toppings.
