Bacon Infused Pancakes
Breakfast for Dinner?! YES! Red wine for Brunch? YES! Wine is always welcome on the table and with the Annular Eclipse approaching on October 14, 2023 this is the perfect brunch to celebrate this unique event. San Antonio will enjoy a 90% totality eclipse around 11:55 AM on October 14, 2023, so make this in advance and give a toast to the Eclipse.
Directions
Brunch meals should be simple and quick! We leverage and combine prepackaged ingredients for this unique meal to speed your day along!
Portion out the pre-made bacon pieces. If making your own, cut bacon into small strips and render in a pan until crispy. Remove and set aside on paper towel lined plate and crumble to desired size when cool.
In a bowl, make the pancake mix. For Crown Maple pancakes - add pancake mix, egg, whole milk, butter and mix thoroughly.
After achieving a smooth consistency, add the bacon pieces to batter and combine.
Pre-heat griddle over medium heat.
While griddle is heating, dice strawberries to desired size and set aside.
In a separate bowl - combine heavy cream and syrup. Whip until smooth peaks form for the whipping cream. Set aside.
Once griddle is hot, spoon batter onto buttered skillet and allow pancake to cook undisturbed until bubbles form on the top of the pancake.
Flip pancake and allow to finish cooking.
Remove from griddle and put on serving plate.
Once pancakes cool a bit, top with whipped cream and strawberries.
Enjoy!
