Savoury Pancakes With Bacon 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.

BACON, CHEDDAR, & CHIVE SAVORY PANCAKES

Steps:

• Cook the chopped bacon in a skillet until crispy. Drain the fat and set the bacon aside.
• Preheat a griddle (if using) or skillet over medium heat.
• Combine flour, salt, and sugar in a large bowl. Add the eggs, milk, and melted butter and mix thoroughly until well combined.
• Stir in baking powder, taking care to get it thoroughly mixed into the batter. Let the batter stand for 5 minutes.
• Add the cheese, cooked bacon, and chives into the batter, stirring until just combined.
• Pour the batter onto the preheated griddle/pan (see note below about adding butter); I like to use about 1/2 cup of batter per pancake, but you can go bigger or smaller depending on your personal preferences. Cook until the bottom is browned, the edges are looking solid, and bubbles are coming up through the center of the pancake. Flip over and cook for an additional 2 minutes or so, then set aside to cool.
• Garnish with sour cream, and additional cheese and chives.

BACON PANCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200 degrees. In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, whisk together buttermilk, melted butter, and egg. Whisk flour mixture into buttermilk mixture just until moistened, with small to medium lumps remaining.
• In a large cast-iron or nonstick skillet or on a griddle, cook bacon over medium-high until fat is rendered and bacon is browned on one side, 5 to 6 minutes. Flip and cook until golden and crisp on underside, 1 to 3 minutes. Drain bacon on paper towels; pour off all but 1 teaspoon fat from skillet (reserve for another use).
• Heat skillet over medium. Pour 1/4-cupfuls batter into skillet and top each with a bacon slice. Cook until some bubbles appear on top of pancakes and a few have burst, about 2 minutes. With a spatula, carefully flip pancakes and cook until browned on underside, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a platter, bacon side up, and loosely tent with foil. Keep pancakes warm in oven and repeat with remaining batter, adding more bacon fat if needed. Serve with pure maple syrup, if desired.

SAVORY BACON AND CHEESE DUTCH BABY PANCAKE RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Heat a heavy 10-inch skillet over medium heat and add bacon. Cook bacon until it is crisp, turning to brown both sides. Remove bacon to paper towels to drain. Set aside.
• Shred cheese using a food processor with shredding disk or use a box grater. Set aside.
• Position an oven rack in the lower third of the oven. Preheat to 425 F.
• In a large bowl or in an electric blender, combine eggs, flour, milk, Dijon mustard, kosher salt, and pepper. Whisk or process until batter is smooth.
• Wipe heavy 10-inch skillet out, and add 3 tablespoons of butter. Place skillet over medium heat, and swirl butter so that it coats the bottom and sides. When foaming subsides, pour batter into skillet.
• Combine shredded cheese and cooked bacon, and sprinkle over the center of the egg batter, leaving an edge of about 1 inch to allow batter to puff as it bakes.
• Bake for about 15 to 17 minutes, or until pancake is browned and puffed around edges. Turn oven temperature down to 325 F, and let cook for about 3 to 5 minutes longer, or until set.
• Remove pancake from oven, and garnish with chives or parsley. Slice into wedges and serve hot.

BRIE-STUFFED PANCAKES WITH CRISPY BACON

Steps:

• Heat the grill to high and grill the bacon for 5 mins until crisp, turning halfway through. Set aside and keep warm. Tip the flour, baking powder, sugar and a large pinch of salt into a large bowl, then gradually whisk in the eggs and milk until you have a smooth, thick batter.
• Heat a splash of the oil and small knob of the butter in a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat until sizzling. Spoon in 1 tbsp of the batter and spread out to a rough 10cm circle with the back of the spoon. Top with a few slices of the brie, a pinch of the grated cheddar, and 1½ tbsp more of the pancake batter - the batter should cover all the cheese. Don't worry if the batter starts to spread - you can shape it by pushing the cheese back toward the centre using a spatula. Cook for 2-3 mins until bubbles start to form on the surface, then carefully flip and cook for 2 mins more. Keep warm while repeating the process with the rest of the oil, butter, batter and cheese. Serve topped with some salted butter and the crispy bacon.
