Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar

Wet Ingredients:

  • 1 cup milk dairy or non-dairy
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 small eggs

Other:

  • 8 oz bacon strips diced and cooked
  • 3 tbsp butter for cooking

Instructions
 

  • Dice and cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat for 5–7 minutes until crispy. Drain on paper towels, leaving the grease in the skillet.
  • Blend milk, vanilla, eggs, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and brown sugar. Add flour and blend briefly until smooth. If whisking by hand, sift dry ingredients first, then mix with wet until just combined.
  • Reheat the skillet with bacon grease over medium-low. Add 1 tbsp butter if needed and coat the pan.
  • Pour 1/4 cup batter per pancake into the skillet. Sprinkle bacon on top. Cook 1–2 minutes until bubbles form, flip, then cook another 1–2 minutes.
  • Enjoy warm with butter, maple syrup, or extra bacon on top.
