Preparation Steps

Prepare the Waffle Batter
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, combine the milk, egg, cooked bacon, and cheddar cheese. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.

Cook the Waffles
Preheat a waffle iron and grease it lightly. Pour an appropriate amount of batter onto the waffle iron and cook according to manufacturer instructions until golden brown. Repeat until all batter is used.
