1 large egg
About 2 tablespoons of butter, melted (in additiona to extra for frying)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Step-by-Step Guide to Making Bacon-Apple Pancakes
Step 1: Cook the Bacon
Begin with the bacon, which you can cook in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. After it is cooked, place it on a papertowel-lined plate and crumble into small pieces. Set aside.
Step 2: Prepare the Apples
Peel, core, and dice the apple into small pieces while the bacon is cooking. Sweet option, if you want to be a bit extra | Saute the apple in some butter and sugar until just starting to soften. This just gives the apples more of a caramel flavor and makes the pancakes even better.
Step 3: Dry Ingredient Mixture
Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda (if using), salt, and cinnamon (if using) in a large bowl. Whisking the dry ingredients together is an important step to help your pancakes rise evenly and have a distributed flavor throughout.
Step: Combine Wet Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, stir the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extracttogether until smooth. Buttermilk makes them tangy and moist where the perfect, just-right pancakes SHOULD BE!
Step 5: Make the Batter
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and stir gently until just moistened. Be careful not to over-mix the batter which may be lumpy. If you overmix the batter your pancakes may become dense instead of light and fluffy.
Step 6:Mix in the Apples and Bacon
Fold the added diced apples and crumbled bacon into the batter. The flapjacks will be distributed around these added extras, so you get a sweet/savory bite of apple and bacon in every bit of pancake.
Step 7: Cook the Pancakes
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a little butter to grease it. Pour about 1/4 cup batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Bake 2-3 minutes or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Return the pancake and cook further, for 1-2 minutes until both sides are nicely golden browned and cooked through.
Step 8: Serve and Enjoy
Layer the pancakes onto a plate and serve with a drizzle of maple syrup, more bacon crumbles, and perhaps a few apple slices. Top it with some cinnamon for a little sweetness or add Zuckerbrot, which is apple compote.
How To Make Bacon Apple Pancakes
Choose Crisp Apples: Granny Smith and Honeycrisp will work best here because they hold their shape very well when baked. Slightly tangy, they cut through the sweetness of the pancakesand work well with the smoky bacon.
The Bacon Must Be Crisper:Good bacon should be compressed into pancakes. My take is that limp bacon has a greater tendency to cause the pancakes themselves to be greasy, and frankly, who wants what amounts to soggy fat on top of their morning nuptials? Soft vs crunchy: Biting into crispy bacon provides just the right proportion of crunchiness which is a wonderful contrast in texture (or if you prefer, mouthfeel).
Don’t Overmix:Stir until just combined with the wet ingredients Mixing too much will activate the gluten in the flour, making you pancakes tougher and less fluffy.
Medium heat:This way, the pancakes will be cooked evenly on the inside and not burnt on the outside. Over high heat sears the outside but can leave the inside undercooked.
Get Creative with Toppings – As delicious as our Grade A maple syrup is, feel free to switch it up and top your waffles with whipped cream (*of course), a lashing of apple butter or an ultra-fine layer of powdered sugar.
