Bacon Pancake Dippers Recipe 395

Steps:

• Whisk pancake mix and water just until blended.
• Ladle batter onto hot griddle or into hot large skillet sprayed with cooking spray, using 1/4 cup batter for each 4-inch long pancake. Immediately top batter for each pancake with 1 bacon piece, pressing bacon gently into batter to secure. Cook until bubbles form on tops of pancakes, then turn to brown other sides.
• Meanwhile, microwave peanut butter and chocolate in microwaveable bowl on HIGH 1 min. or until chocolate is completely melted and mixture is well blended, stirring every 30 sec.
• Serve pancake dippers with the chocolate-peanut butter sauce.

Steps:

• Cook the bacon until crisp.
• (Suggested method: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Arrange the bacon on a baking sheet lined with a wire rack. Cook for 15-20 minutes.).
• Chop one piece of bacon into small pieces to yield at least 1⁄4 cup.
• Prepare the pancake mix according to directions for 1 1⁄2 cups dry mix. Fold in the bacon bits. Let batter settle while you preheat the griddle to medium.
• Pour about a scant 1⁄4 cup of batter onto griddle in a straight line. Allow to spread (it should be a relatively thin line, just wider than the bacon) and then place a piece of bacon into center. Cover with 2-3 tablespoons additional batter, just to hide bacon.
• Cook until it begins to bubble and then flip, cooking another minute. Repeat with remaining bacon. Serve hot with maple syrup.

Steps:

• For Pancake Batter:.
• In a large bowl, mix together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
• In a separate bowl, whisk room-temperature buttermilk, milk and eggs, vanilla extract and melted butter.
• Stir the wet mixture into the dry mixture until it's just blended, being careful not to over stir the batter. You want your batter to remain fairly thick. Set aside.
• Cook bacon according to package directions. You will want bacon on the crispy side.
• It's easier if you put your batter into a squeeze bottle, but it's not necessary.
• Draw" the pancake batter in a long oval shape onto the griddle, a tiny bit bigger than your cooked bacon slices (it will expand, so be careful not to make them too large).
• Place a slice of cooked bacon in the center of each pancake, and gently press bacon into the batter. Squirt more batter on top of each bacon slice, in a zig-zag pattern, so that you don't end up overcooking the bacon when it touches the griddle.
• Cook each dipper until the batter bubbles up and then flip until golden brown.
• Serve the bacon pancake dippers with your favorite syrup and eat while hot.
