1 C. Finely chopped thick cut bacon slices
1/4 C. Unsalted butter, melted divided
1 C. AP flour
1 t. Kosher salt
3/4 C. Whole milk, at room temperature
1/4 C. Grade A Dark pure maple syrup, plus more for brushing
4 large eggs, at room temperature

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees with oven rack in lower third of oven. Cooked chopped bacon in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high, stirring occasionally, until crisp and golden, 5-7 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a plate lined with paper towels. Allow drippings to cool slightly in skillet, about 5 minutes, pour into a small heat proof bowl. 2. Add 2 T. Melted butter to drippings: stir to combine. Spoon 1 t. Drippings mixture into each cup of a 12 cup popover pan or large muffin pan. (Discard any remaining drippings mixture). Place pan in oven to heat. 3. Stir together flour and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk together milk, maple syrup, eggs, and remaining 2 T, butter in a large bowl. Gradually whisk flour mixture into egg mixture until almost smooth: fold in cooked bacon. Transfer batter to a 4 C. Spouted measure cup. 4. Carefully remove hot pan from oven. Pour batter into popover cups, filling each 2/3 full. Bake in preheated oven until popovers are puffed and golden brown, 18-20 minutes. Lightly brush tops with additional maple syrup. Remove from pan and serve immediately.
