Pancake Fried Bacon Ingredients

Method

Pancake Fried Bacon Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bacon

    Preheat your deep fryer or a heavy pot filled with oil to 350°F (175°C). Meanwhile, arrange the applewood bacon slices on a plate.

  2. 2

    Make the Batter

    In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. In another bowl, mix the buttermilk and egg. Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients until just mixed; avoid overmixing.

  3. 3

    Dip the Bacon

    Dip each slice of bacon into the pancake batter, ensuring it is fully coated.

  4. 4

    Fry the Bacon

    Carefully place the battered bacon slices into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Dust the fried bacon with powdered sugar and serve with real maple syrup on the side.
