2. Fluffy Pancakes with Crispy Bacon
The ultimate breakfast combination: light, fluffy pancakes paired with salty, crispy bacon and a drizzle of rich maple syrup.

Recipe:
Ingredient Amount
All-Purpose Flour 1 cup
Baking Powder 1 tbsp
Sugar 1 tbsp
Salt $1/2$ tsp
Milk (or Buttermilk) 1 cup
Egg, large 1
Melted Butter (or oil) 2 tbsp
Bacon Slices 6-8
Maple Syrup For serving
Instructions:
Cook Bacon: Cook the bacon until crisp using your preferred method (pan-fried or baked). Set aside on a paper towel to drain excess grease.

Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.

Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter.

Combine: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not over-mix; a few lumps are okay. Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes.

Cook Pancakes: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease if necessary. Pour $1/4$ cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake.

Add Bacon: Optional: Place a piece of crispy bacon on top of the wet batter before flipping.

Flip: Cook until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges are set (about 2-3 minutes). Flip and cook the other side until golden brown. Serve immediately with the remaining crispy bacon and maple syrup.
