Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
For the pancakes:
- 1 ¼ cup all purpose flour
- 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3 tablespoon unsalted butter, separated
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp pure maple syrup
For the egg mixture:
- 5 large eggs
- ½ cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Additional ingredients:
- 4 strips bacon
- 4 slices american cheese
Instructions
Cook the bacon:
- Cut each strip of bacon in half. In a skillet cook them over medium heat flipping half way through until crisp to your liking. About 10 minutes.
- Place on a paper towel lined plate and set aside. If you want them to stay really warm, you can also put in the oven at 300℉ to keep warm.
Make the pancakes:
- Whisk together the milk, 2 tablespoon melted butter, egg, vanilla, and maple syrup. Then whisk in the flour, baking powder, and salt until just combined.
- In a non-stick skillet melt a little pat butter over medium heat. Spray the inside of the lids with non-stick spray and place them bottom side down (the open side). Add 2 tablespoon pancake batter to each. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface, about 2-3 minutes.
- Shimmy the pancakes out of the jar lid and flip, cooking for another 2-3 minutes on the other side until golden. Repeat until you have 8x pancakes. Put in the oven on a wire rack at 300℉ to keep warm.
Make the eggs:
- Whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper.
- Melt a pat of butter over medium-low heat and add ⅓ cup egg mixture - spread I around so it's the size of the pan. Once set, fold 2x edges that are across from each other towards the middle, then the other 2x towards the middle to make a square.
- Once set (about 1-2 minutes), fold 2x edges that are across from each other towards the middle, then the other 2x towards the middle to make a square.
Assemble:
- To assemble start with a pancake on the bottom, followed by a slice of cheese, then a folded egg, then bacon, and topped with another pancake.
