Patrick and I have been pretty well behaved on the food front lately. Notice the recent lack of brownie recipes? What better way to celebrate our discipline than with bacon?
Ingredients
1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
1/4 lb bacon, cut into pieces, cooked until crisp, then drained
1 1/2 cup buttermilk (if you don't have buttermilk, try these alternatives.)
1 egg
1 tablespoon bacon grease
1 1/2 cup flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
How To
Combine the buttermilk, egg and bacon grease. In another bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt and baking powder. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until everything is just combined-- lumps are fine.
Heat your griddle and grease it with butter. Pour the batter onto the hot griddle. I used an ice cream scoop for uniformity. Once the batter is on the griddle, drop your blueberries and bacon on top.
Flip when the top of the pancake looks dry and is full of little holes. These aren't quite ready to flip...
This recipe (which easily doubles or triples) serves two hungry people.
