Ingredients
Thick cut bacon
1 lb (Cooked until crispy)
Pancake mix
1 1/2 cups (Follow package directions, excluding any water or milk needed)
Maple syrup
to taste (For serving)
Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. Lay the bacon strips in a single layer on the rack.
2
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Chop one piece of bacon into small bits to yield at least 1/4 cup.
3
Prepare the pancake mix according to the package instructions, using the dry mix for 1 1/2 cups. Gently fold in the chopped bacon bits, and let the batter sit while you heat a griddle or skillet over medium heat.
4
Pour a scant 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle in a straight line, allowing it to spread slightly to create a thin pancake that is just wider than the bacon.
5
Carefully place a strip of cooked bacon in the center of the batter, then cover with an additional 2-3 tablespoons of batter to fully encase the bacon.
6
Cook until the edges are golden and bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Flip the pancake dippers and cook for an additional minute, or until golden brown.
7
Repeat with the remaining bacon and batter. Serve the pancake dippers hot with maple syrup for dipping.
