Best Maple Bacon Pancakes Recipes

ORANGE PUMPKIN PANCAKES WITH VANILLA WHIPPED CREAM, CINNAMON MAPLE SYRUP AND THICK-CUT BACON

Steps:

• Sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Combine the pumpkin, milk, egg yolks, orange juice and zest in another bowl, mixing until homogenous. Make a well in the dry ingredients. Pour the wet ingredients into the well and mix until combined.
• Preheat the griddle.
• Beat the egg whites with a pinch salt in a separate bowl, using a whisk or electric mixer, until the whites form stiff peaks. Fold the egg whites into the batter in thirds. Do this quickly and gently, so the pancakes will be light and fluffy.
• Melt small pats of butter onto the griddle, and then spread them around with a paper towel to remove any excess. Spoon or ladle the batter onto the griddle to the desired size of the pancake. When the top of the pancakes are full of holes (look like bubbles have risen to the surface and burst), flip and cook until the bottoms are golden brown.
• Transfer the pancakes to serving plates, dust with powdered sugar and serve with Cinnamon Maple Syrup, Vanilla Whipped Cream and Thick-Cut Bacon on the side.
• Heat the maple syrup with the cinnamon stick in a small saucepan over medium heat. When the syrup is hot, remove from the heat and allow the flavors to steep, about 30 minutes. Yield: 1 cup.
• Beat the cream and vanilla in a mixing bowl, using a whisk or hand beater, until the cream starts to thicken. Sprinkle in the sugar and beat until the cream is very light and fluffy and holds soft peaks. Yield: 3 cups.
• Place the bacon in a medium saute pan over medium heat. Cook until the fat starts to render out and the bacon turns golden brown and crispy, 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain.

MAPLE-BACON PANCAKES

Steps:

• Cook bacon in two batches in a large skillet over medium-low heat, turning occasionally, until crisp, 6 to 7 minutes. Drain bacon on paper towels, then break into 3/4- to 1-inch pieces. Reserve drippings, and wipe out skillet.
• Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk together buttermilk, syrup, eggs, and butter. Add to flour mixture, and whisk until just combined (batter will have lumps).
• Heat 1 teaspoon drippings in skillet over medium-low heat. For each pancake, arrange some of the bacon pieces in a circle in skillet. Slowly pour 1/3 cup batter over bacon, starting in center and moving outward in a swirling motion to prevent bacon from shifting. Cook until small bubbles form on surface. Flip, and cook until golden brown. Transfer pancakes to a baking sheet, and keep warm in oven. Repeat with remaining bacon and batter. Serve with syrup.

PANCAKES WITH BACON AND MAPLE SYRUP

Steps:

• Melt the butter and set aside to cool slightly while you get on with the rest of the batter and the bacon.
• In a large, wide-necked measuring cup, measure out the flour and add the baking powder, sugar and salt. Stir to combine.
• In another cup, measure the milk, beat in the eggs and then the slightly cooled butter, and pour the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking as you do so. Or just put everything in a blender and blitz.
• In the vegetable oil, fry the bacon (cut into half crosswise) or the pancetta strips until crisp, remove to paper towels and cover with more paper towels (not because I'm fat-phobic - as if! - but because this will help them keep their requisite crispness). Now, heat either a griddle or nonstick frying pan, smear with a small bit of butter and then start frying. I just pour small amounts straight from the cup (but you could use a 1/4-cup measure if you prefer) so that you have wiggly circumferenced disks. When you see bubbles erupting on the surface, turn the pancakes over and cook for a couple of minutes, if that, on the other side.
• Or use a blini pan and, as just described, turn when the bubbles break through to the uncooked surface. There is a Russian saying to the effect that the first pancake is always botched, so be prepared to sacrifice the initial offering to unceremonious stoveside gobbling.
• Pile the pancakes onto plate, wigwam with pieces of crispy bacon or pancetta and dribble or pour over, depending on greed and capacity, that clear, brown, woodily fragrant syrup.

BACON PANCAKES WITH MAPLE-PEANUT BUTTER SYRUP

Steps:

• In small bowl, beat peanut butter and butter with electric mixer on low speed until smooth. Beat in 1/2 cup syrup until well mixed.
• Heat nonstick griddle to 350°F or heat 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-low heat.
• In medium bowl, stir all pancake ingredients except bacon with wire whisk or fork until blended. Stir in bacon.
• For each pancake, pour slightly less than 1/4 cup batter onto hot griddle. Cook 2 to 3 minutes or until edges are dry. Turn; cook other sides until golden brown. Serve pancakes with syrup.

BUTTERMILK CORN PANCAKES WITH BACON & MAPLE SYRUP

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 150C/130C fan/gas 2 - you'll need the oven to keep the pancakes warm later on. Put the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, eggs, buttermilk, melted butter and half the sweetcorn into the bowl of a food processor and pulse to combine (you want the corn to be chopped, not puréed). Stir in the spring onions and remaining corn.
• Heat two frying pans over a medium heat, and add about 1 tbsp oil to each. Ladle two pancakes, measuring about 10-12cm across, into each pan. Cook for about 3-4 mins until set and small bubbles form on top. Using a palette knife, flip the pancakes over and cook on the other side for 2-3 mins more. Transfer the cooked pancakes to a roasting tin or baking sheet lined with a double layer of baking parchment, and put in the oven to keep them warm.
• When all the pancakes are cooked, add a little more oil to the pans, then cook the bacon until golden on both sides. Serve alongside the pancakes, with the maple syrup drizzled over and some extra spring onions sprinkled on top.

MAPLE-BACON PANCAKES

Steps:

• Cook bacon until crisp. Drain on paper towels, then break into 1" pieces. Reserve drippings and wipe out skillet.
• Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk together buttermilk, syrup, eggs and butter. Add to flour mixture and whisk until just combined (batter will have lumps).
• Heat 1 teaspoon drippings in skillet over medium-low heat. For each pancake, arrange some of the bacon pieces in a circle in skillet. Slowly pour 1/3 cup batter over bacon, starting in center and moving outward in a swirling motion to prevent bacon from shifting. Cook until small bubbles form on surface. Flip, and cook until golden brown. Transfer finished pancakes to a baking sheet and keep warm in oven. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Serve with syrup.

SOUR CREAM & BACON PANCAKES WITH WARM ORANGE-MAPLE SYRUP

Steps:

• Heat large skillet sprayed with cooking spray on medium heat. Meanwhile, whisk eggs, milk, sour cream and oil in large bowl until well blended. Mix next 4 ingredients. Add to egg mixture; whisk until well blended.
• Ladle batter into hot skillet, using 1/4 cup batter for each pancake. Sprinkle each with about 1 Tbsp. bacon. Cook 3 min. or until bubbles form on top, then turn to brown other sides.
• Mix syrup and zest in microwaveable bowl. Microwave on HIGH 1 min.; stir. Strain into pitcher. Serve with pancakes.

MAPLE-BACON PANCAKES

Steps:

• 1. Cook bacon until crisp. Drain on paper towels, then crumble bacon into pieces. Reserve drippings and wipe out skillet.
• 2. Preheat oven to 200 degrees. (Heat oven only if your going to keep pancakes warm.) I eliminated this process.
• 3. In a medium size bowl whisk together, the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
• 4. In another bowl whisk together, the buttermilk, maple syrup, eggs, and the unsalted butter. Add to flour mixture, and whisk until just combined (batter may have lumps).
• 5. Heat 1 teaspoon of the reserved bacon drippings in a skillet over medium-low heat. (I omitted using the bacon drippings, and for each pancake made, I added a teaspoon of Canola oil to the skillet.)
• 6. For each pancake, arrange some of the bacon pieces in a circle in skillet.
• 7. Slowly pour 1/3 cup of batter over the bacon, starting in center and moving outward in a swirling motion, to prevent bacon from shifting. Cook until small bubbles form on surface.
• 8. Flip, and cook until golden brown. Transfer finished pancakes to a baking sheet, and keep warm in oven. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Serve pancakes with syrup.
