Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-in-one pancake mix
  • 1 1/3 cups water
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 8 slices thick-cut smoked bacon
  • Maple syrup for serving

Method
 

  1. Here’s how to whip up these tasty bacon pancake dippers.
Step 1: Prepare the Bacon
  1. Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat. Aim for crispy perfection. Once done, place the bacon on paper towels to drain excess grease. Chop them into bite-sized pieces for easy incorporation into your pancake batter.
Step 2: Make the Pancake Batter
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the all-in-one pancake mix and water. Stir until just mixed. For added flavor, melt two tablespoons of butter and whisk it into the batter along with vanilla extract and cinnamon if you choose to include it.
Step 3: Fold in the Bacon
  1. Gently fold the chopped bacon into the pancake batter. The goal is to distribute the savory bits evenly without overmixing, which can make your pancakes tough.
Step 4: Heat the Skillet
  1. In the same skillet used for bacon, melt the remaining tablespoon of butter over medium heat. You want that skillet hot enough so that when you pour the batter, it sizzles delightfully.
Step 5: Cook the Pancakes
  1. Using a ladle, pour small amounts of the batter into the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface. Then flip and cook until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Repeat this process for the remaining batter.
Step 6: Serve!
  1. Once cooked, stack your bacon pancake dippers on a plate, ready to be drizzled with maple syrup or your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

Here are some helpful tips to keep in mind as you prepare this dish:
  • Don’t Overmix: A few lumps in pancake batter are okay. Overmixing will lead to tough pancakes.
  • Adjust for Consistency: If the batter seems too thick, add a splash more water. If it’s too thin, a bit more pancake mix can help.
  • Use High-Quality Ingredients: Opt for good bacon and maple syrup for the best flavor.
  • Experiment with Flavors: Try different add-ins, like chocolate chips, or spices, to customize your dippers.
  • Cook in Batches: If feeding a crowd, keep the cooked pancakes warm in a low oven while you finish making the rest.
