Pancake Fried Bacon Directions
- 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.

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.

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

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.
