Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cornmeal
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 6 slices of bacon
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- Optional: Butter and fresh herbs for serving
Instructions
- Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil.
- Cook the bacon until crispy, then drain on a paper towel and set aside. Keep warm.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, combine buttermilk, egg, and melted butter. Pour into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
- Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the preheated skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges are set, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook for an additional minute until golden brown.
- Repeat with the remaining batter, keeping the cooked pancakes warm.
- Serve the pancakes stacked with crispy bacon on the side, drizzled generously with maple syrup. Add butter or herbs if desired.
