Bacon Buttermilk Pancakes Recipes

BUTTERMILK PANCAKES WITH MAPLE BACON

Steps:

• In a bowl, sift together the flour, bicarbonate of soda, salt and sugar.
• In a separate bowl or jug, mix together the buttermilk, milk, eggs and butter. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir to combine. Do not overbeat - stir just to combine.
• Melt a small knob of butter in a large frying pan. Using a ladle, pour some batter into the pan to make a pancake. Depending on the size of the pan, you may be able to make more than one pancake at a time, or if you are confident you can use two pans at the same time.
• Cook the pancakes for about a minute, or until the underside is golden brown and the top is bubbling. Turn them over using a palette knife or fish slice and cook for another minute. Keep the pancakes warm in a very low oven while you cook the remaining batter.
• Meanwhile, preheat the grill to medium-hot. Lay the bacon on a grill tray lined with foil and brush with some of the maple syrup. Grill until one side of the bacon is crisp. Turn over and brush the other side with maple syrup and cook until crisp.
• Serve the pancakes stacked on top of each other, topped with grilled bacon and drizzled with maple syrup.

BUTTERMILK, BANANA, BACON PANCAKES

Steps:

• Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt in a large bowl. Set aside. Mix the buttermilk, vanilla extract and eggs in another bowl until thoroughly combined. Stir in the bacon and banana. Fold in the dry ingredients.
• Preheat a large pan over medium-high heat. Add a little bacon fat or butter and allow to heat and melt. Add about 1/2 cup of the batter for each pancake. Allow the pancake to cook until it starts to bubble on top and gets golden brown around the edges, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook for another minute. Remove to a platter. Repeat with the remaining batter. Top with butter and maple syrup.

BACON PANCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200 degrees. In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, whisk together buttermilk, melted butter, and egg. Whisk flour mixture into buttermilk mixture just until moistened, with small to medium lumps remaining.
• In a large cast-iron or nonstick skillet or on a griddle, cook bacon over medium-high until fat is rendered and bacon is browned on one side, 5 to 6 minutes. Flip and cook until golden and crisp on underside, 1 to 3 minutes. Drain bacon on paper towels; pour off all but 1 teaspoon fat from skillet (reserve for another use).
• Heat skillet over medium. Pour 1/4-cupfuls batter into skillet and top each with a bacon slice. Cook until some bubbles appear on top of pancakes and a few have burst, about 2 minutes. With a spatula, carefully flip pancakes and cook until browned on underside, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a platter, bacon side up, and loosely tent with foil. Keep pancakes warm in oven and repeat with remaining batter, adding more bacon fat if needed. Serve with pure maple syrup, if desired.

BUTTERMILK, SAUSAGE AND BACON PANCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat a griddle to 375 degrees F.
• In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add the buttermilk, butter and eggs and whisk until the lumps in the batter begin to disappear; don't overmix the batter though--a few lumps are fine. Let stand for 2 to 3 minutes. Fold the sausage crumbles into the batter.
• Grease the griddle with butter, wiping off any excess. Using a ladle, pour about 1/2 cup of pancake batter onto the griddle. Cook until bubbles appear at the top of the pancake, about 3 minutes. Carefully flip using a spatula. Continue to cook for about 2 more minutes. Transfer to a platter. Repeat this process with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the griddle as needed.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup and bourbon.
• Serve the pancakes in a stack and top with the bacon, pecans and a drizzle of bourbon maple syrup.

AMERICAN PANCAKES

Steps:

• Mix 200g self-raising flour, 1 ½ tsp baking powder, 1 tbsp golden caster sugar and a pinch of salt together in a large bowl.
• Create a well in the centre with the back of your spoon then add 3 large eggs, 25g melted butter and 200ml milk.
• Whisk together either with a balloon whisk or electric hand beaters until smooth then pour into a jug.
• Heat a small knob of butter and 1 tsp of oil in a large, non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. When the butter looks frothy, pour in rounds of the batter, approximately 8cm wide. Make sure you don't put the pancakes too close together as they will spread during cooking. Cook the pancakes on one side for about 1-2 mins or until lots of tiny bubbles start to appear and pop on the surface. Flip the pancakes over and cook for a further minute on the other side. Repeat until all the batter is used up.
• Serve your pancakes stacked up on a plate with a drizzle of maple syrup and any of your favourite toppings.
