Bacon Cheddar Potato Pancakes With Dijon Maple Syrup Food

SAVORY BACON CHEDDAR PANCAKES

Steps:

• Cook bacon in a saute pan until crisp. Remove from pan, reserve the grease, and let bacon drain on paper towels. Crumble the bacon and set aside.
• In a large bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, and melted butter. Add all of the wet ingredients into the bowl with the flour mixture all at once. Stir together just until combined. The batter will be lumpy. Place the bowl in the refrigerator for just about 5 minutes.
• Heat a large skillet over medium heat then add a few tablespoons of bacon grease. Once grease is hot, drop about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake into the skillet.
• Allow bubbles to form on top of the cakes and pop before flipping once to finish cooking on the other side.
• Top with shredded cheese, crumbled bacon, and real maple syrup or hot sauce.

PANCAKES WITH BACON AND MAPLE SYRUP

Steps:

• Melt the butter and set aside to cool slightly while you get on with the rest of the batter and the bacon.
• In a large, wide-necked measuring cup, measure out the flour and add the baking powder, sugar and salt. Stir to combine.
• In another cup, measure the milk, beat in the eggs and then the slightly cooled butter, and pour the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking as you do so. Or just put everything in a blender and blitz.
• In the vegetable oil, fry the bacon (cut into half crosswise) or the pancetta strips until crisp, remove to paper towels and cover with more paper towels (not because I'm fat-phobic - as if! - but because this will help them keep their requisite crispness). Now, heat either a griddle or nonstick frying pan, smear with a small bit of butter and then start frying. I just pour small amounts straight from the cup (but you could use a 1/4-cup measure if you prefer) so that you have wiggly circumferenced disks. When you see bubbles erupting on the surface, turn the pancakes over and cook for a couple of minutes, if that, on the other side.
• Or use a blini pan and, as just described, turn when the bubbles break through to the uncooked surface. There is a Russian saying to the effect that the first pancake is always botched, so be prepared to sacrifice the initial offering to unceremonious stoveside gobbling.
• Pile the pancakes onto plate, wigwam with pieces of crispy bacon or pancetta and dribble or pour over, depending on greed and capacity, that clear, brown, woodily fragrant syrup.

UPSIDE-DOWN BACON PANCAKE

Return bacon to pan with reserved drippings; sprinkle with brown sugar., In a small bowl, combine pancake mix and water just until moistened. Pour into pan., Bake at 350° until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 18-20 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes before inverting onto a serving plate. Serve warm, with maple syrup and butter if desired.

• 1. * NOTE: Use real, homemade https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/side/side-potatoes/mashed-potatoes-2.html?p=2 that have been refrigerated (the consistency should be firm.) This recipe will not work with instant mashed potatoes. Recipe may be doubled or tripled.

• 4. In a medium size bowl, mix together mashed potatoes, bacon bits and cheese.

• 6. Increase heat to medium/medium-high; one by one, form each portion into a ball, then flatten (as if making hamburger patties) and place in skillet with melted butter.
• 7. Fry the first side for approximately 5 minutes, until golden brown; carefully turn pancakes over and fry for additional 3 to 4 minutes, until golden brown on each side. (Do not attempt to turn the pancakes for a second time. They are fragile and you will probably end up with a mess.)
