Crispy Bacon Beer Pancakes

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Bacon Beer Pancakes.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).

2. Step 2

   To make cleanup a breeze, line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top.

3. Step 3

   Now, it’s time to lay out those delicious bacon slices on the rack, ensuring they’re nicely spaced.

4. Step 4

   Pop the tray into your preheated oven and let the bacon bake for about 10 minutes, filling your kitchen with a mouthwatering aroma.

5. Step 5

   After the first 10 minutes, sprinkle half of the brown sugar over the bacon, letting it melt into the savory goodness.

6. Step 6

   Return the tray to the oven for another 10 minutes.

7. Step 7

   When that timer goes off, flip the bacon slices over, sprinkle the remaining brown sugar on top, and continue baking until the bacon is perfectly crispy and the sugar has turned a lovely golden brown—this should take an additional 10 to 15 minutes.

8. Step 8

   Once it’s done, let the bacon cool for a moment before crumbling it into delightful little pieces.

9. Step 9

   While the bacon is cooling, grab a large bowl and whisk together the flour, white sugar, and baking powder.

10. Step 10

    In another bowl, mix the beer, melted butter, salt, and vanilla extract until everything is well combined.

11. Step 11

    Gently fold the beer mixture into the flour mixture, stirring until you have a smooth batter.

12. Step 12

    Now, it’s time to add that crumbled bacon, folding it in for a savory twist.

13. Step 13

    Next, lightly grease a large skillet with vegetable oil and heat it over medium-high.

14. Step 14

    Pour in half a cup of batter, watching as it sizzles in the pan.

15. Step 15

    Cook until the edges start to brown, which should take about 2 minutes.

16. Step 16

    Flip the pancake with a gentle touch and let it cook until the bottom is golden brown and the center is set—this will take about 3 to 5 more minutes.

17. Step 17

    Keep repeating this process with the remaining batter, and soon you’ll have a stack of fluffy, bacon-infused pancakes ready to enjoy.

18. Step 18

    Serve them warm, and savor the delightful combination of sweet and savory flavors!.
