Recipe type: Breakfast
Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 pancakes
Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 and ½ cups milk
  • ½ stick unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vinegar
  • 1 and ½ tsp vegetable oil
  • 1 and ¼ cup maple syrup
  • ¼ cup cinnamon liqueur
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tbsp bourbon
  • 1 slice crispy cooked bacon
Instructions
  1. Sift the dry ingredients together in a bowl: flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
  2. Whisk the wet ingredients together in a separate bowl: milk, melted butter, egg, vinegar, and vegetable oil.
  3. Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until all of the batter is combined.
  4. On a greased, preheated skillet on medium-high heat, ladle some of the pancake batter onto the surface. (I use about ½ cup worth of batter).
  5. All the pancake to cook until the bubbles on top have burst. (You can lift the bottom edge slightly with a spatula to see if it’s browned enough.)
  6. Once browned enough on the bottom, time to flip! Fit the spatula underneath of the pancake and quickly flip the pancake over.
  7. Continue the process of cooking the pancakes until you are out of batter. I was able to get about 6 pancakes that are 6-inches in diameter.
  8. Stir the maple syrup, cinnamon liqueur, butter and bourbon together in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer and simmer for 5-10 minutes. Remove from heat and add in the slice of bacon. I broke the slice of bacon in-half to fit in the pan better. Allow to cool for about 5 minutes. The syrup will be very hot, so use caution and be careful! Makes about 1 and ½ cups of syrup.
  9. Drizzle the boozy-bacon-infused syrup over each serving of pancakes and add a dollop of butter on top of the stack!
