Ingredients

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 T. plus 1 t. baking powder
  • 3/4 c. sugar
  • 1 t. coarse salt
  • 6 large eggs separated
  • 3 cups whole milk
  • 3/4 c. 12 T. unsalted butter, melted, plus 2 t. unmelted for cooking
  • 1 t. pure vanilla extract
  • 1 lb. bacon stove-top cooked to your liking and crumbled. I use thin sliced bacon.
  • 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar or cinnamon sugar for dusting optional
  • Maple Butter - so good!

Instructions

  • Sift flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt into a large bowl.
  • In medium bowl, whisk together yolks, milk, melted butter, and vanilla until combined.
  • Whisk yolk mixture into flour mixture until just combined; batter will be slightly lumpy.
  • Place egg white in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, or whisk by hand, until medium peaks form.
  • Gently mix half the egg whites into batter with a rubber spatula.
  • Gently fold in remaining whites. The egg whites should not be fully incorporated into the batter.
  • Heat a griddle until hot, about 350 to 375 degrees.
  • Add remaining unmelted butter to hot griddle.
  • Add 1/4 cup pancake batter.
  • Sprinkle crumbled, crisp bacon over pancakes.
  • When bubbles begin to form, lift pancake; if golden brown, turn.
  • Cook until golden brown on remaining side.
  • Transfer cooked pancake to a plate and keep warm. Repeat process with remaining batter and bacon.
  • Serve warm with butter and maple syrup, maple butter or your favorite pancake topping.
  • Enjoy, the best pancake in the world!!
