List of Ingredients
Pecan Maple Bacon Pancakes
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, or slightly less table salt
3 tablespoons sugar
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
3 cups buttermilk
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus 1 tablespoon extra for brushing griddle
6-7 slices brown sugar bacon
1/2 cup pecans, chopped (and toasted, optionally)
maple syrup for drizzling
Recipe
Preheat oven to 400°F.
Place bacon on a foil-lined baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes or until crispy.
Allow to cool and crumble on a paper towel.
]If desired, toast pecans in a dry skillet over low-medium heat, shaking constantly.
Preheat an electric griddle to 375°F, or place a griddle pan or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar in a medium bowl.
In a separate bowl, mix the eggs and buttermilk.
Pour the buttermilk mixture and 4 tablespoons melted butter into the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined.
The batter should have small to medium lumps.
Test the griddle by sprinkling a few drops of water on it.
If the water bounces and spatters, the griddle is hot enough.
Using a pastry brush, brush the remaining 1/2 teaspoon butter onto the griddle.
Wipe off the excess with a folded paper towel.
Using a 4-oz. ladle, about 1/2 cup (for a 6-inch pancake), pour the batter in pools 2 inches apart.
Drop some pecans and some bacon crumbles onto each pancake.
Using a spoon, drizzle a small amount of maple syrup over the top of the pancake.
When the pancakes have bubbles on top and are slightly dry around the edges, about 2 1/2 minutes, flip over.
If any batter oozes, push it back under with your spatula.
Cook until golden on bottom, about 1 minute.
Repeat with the remaining batter.
You can keep the finished pancakes on a heat-proof plate (or baking sheet) in the oven at 175°F.
Serve warm with butter and maple syrup.
