SUNNY'S EASY BAKED AND LOADED PANCAKE WITH LEMON MAPLE GLAZE

Steps:

• For the pancake: Lay the bacon side-by-side in a cold 9- or 10-inch oven-safe nonstick saute pan. Place the pan in the cold oven and heat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Remove bacon to a paper towel-lined plate and place the pan with any leftover bacon fat back in the oven. Raise the temperature to 400 degrees F. Let the bacon cool, then chop.
• Add the pancake mix, 1 cup water and lemon zest to a large bowl. Stir to distribute the zest and add the amount of water instructed on the packaging. Whisk together and refrigerate until the oven is at temperature.
