Method

Prepare Praline Bacon

  1. 1

    Cook the Bacon

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lay the bacon slices on the sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes until crispy.

  2. 2

    Make Praline Mix

    In a saucepan, combine brown sugar, butter, corn syrup, and chopped pecans. Cook over medium heat until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is bubbling. Remove from heat.

  3. 3

    Coat the Bacon

    Brush the baked bacon with the praline mixture and return to the oven for another 5 minutes. Remove and let cool, then chop into pieces.

Make Waffle Batter

  1. 4

    Activate Yeast

    In a small bowl, mix warm milk (110°F or 43°C) with sugar and yeast. Let sit for 10 minutes until foamy.

  2. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large bowl, mix flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla. Stir until just combined.

  3. 6

    Let the Batter Rise

    Cover the bowl with a cloth and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
