Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour (190 g)
  • 3 ½ teaspoons baking powder (14 g)
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda (2 g)
  • ¼ teaspoon salt (1.5 g)
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (12 g)
  • 1 ¼ cups buttermilk (300 ml) (can substitute with milk + 1 tbsp lemon juice)
  • 1 large egg (room temperature)
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (42 g)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (5 ml)
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 8 slices thick-cut bacon
  • Optional toppings: maple syrup, fresh berries (blueberries, strawberries), whipped cream or Greek yogurt

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, sugar, and cinnamon (if using).
  2. In another bowl, beat the egg with buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until combined.
  3. Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir just until combined; do not overmix.
  4. Let the batter rest while you start cooking the bacon.
  5. Cook bacon either in a cold skillet over medium heat for 8-10 minutes per side until crisp, or bake in a preheated 400°F (200°C) oven on a wire rack over a baking sheet for 15-20 minutes.
  6. Transfer cooked bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease.
  7. Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
  8. Pour ¼ cup batter for each pancake onto the hot surface. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
  9. Flip pancakes carefully and cook for another 2 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
  10. Stack pancakes on a warm plate, top with bacon slices, and serve immediately with optional toppings like maple syrup, fresh berries, or whipped cream.

Notes

Rest pancake batter for 5-10 minutes before cooking for fluffier pancakes. Cook bacon on medium heat low and slow for best crispness without burning. If batter is too thick, add a splash of milk; if too thin, add a teaspoon of flour. Flip pancakes only when bubbles appear and edges look dry. Store leftovers in airtight containers; pancakes keep 2 days, bacon 3-4 days refrigerated.
