BACON CHEDDAR PANCAKES

I found this recipe in a magazine and found it just intriguing enough to try. I made just a few very small changes:

• It called for regular cheddar and I used white.  
• It called for 3 slices of bacon and I used 4.
• It had you serving with just butter which we tried and then we added maple syrup which was a serious plus in our book.
• It also said it would make 8 pancakes and I got 11.

BACON CHEDDAR PANCAKES
1 cup flour
1 tablespoon cornmeal
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1 cup + 2 tablespoons buttermilk
1 LARGE egg
3 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
1/4 cup grated white cheddar cheese
Maple Syrup

• Preheat skillet and spray with non-stick cooking spray.
• Mix together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda and salt until well blended.
• Whisk together the egg and buttermilk.
• Add wet ingredients to dry, whisking only until incorporated well.
• Fold in bacon and cheese.
• Using 1/4 cup measure scoop batter onto prepared skillet.
• Turn when you see bubbles on the entire pancake surface.  If you wait for the bubbles you will need to only flip once and pancakes should be golden.
• Cook until golden.
