0 Cook [wprm-ingredient text="12 oz. bacon" uid="0"] until it’s crisp. (You may do this on the stovetop or in the oven.) Drain on a paper towel, then chop once cooled slightly.
1 Mix the pancake batter. Measure [wprm-ingredient text="2 cups all-purpose flour" uid="1"], [wprm-ingredient text="2 tablespoons granulated sugar" uid="2"], [wprm-ingredient text="2 teaspoons baking powder" uid="3"], [wprm-ingredient text="½ teaspoon baking soda" uid="4"] and [wprm-ingredient text="½ teaspoon kosher salt" uid="5"] into a large bowl. Whisk together until incorporated, and set aside.
2 In a smaller bowl or a liquid measuring cup, measure in [wprm-ingredient text="1 ½ cups milk" uid="6"].
3 Next, break the [wprm-ingredient text="2 large eggs" uid="7"], and stir those into the milk with the [wprm-ingredient text="1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract" uid="8"] and [wprm-ingredient text="2 tablespoons unflavored oil" uid="9"].
4 Use a fork to beat the wet ingredients until combined. Make sure the egg yolk and white are incorporated.
5 Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined with a rubber spatula. Be careful not to overmix, as this will affect the texture of the pancakes. Don’t fret about lumps — they’re OK.
6 Once the batter has been mixed, heat a nonstick skillet or a griddle over medium heat. Brush the pan with bacon fat, melted butter or unflavored cooking spray.
7 Dollop the pancakes onto the preheated skillet when ready using a cookie scoop or a measuring cup.
8 Sprinkle 1-2 teaspoons of chopped bacon on top of the pancake batter once it’s on the griddle.
9 When several bubbles have formed on the surface, flip the pancakes, and cook through.
10 Repeat until all of the pancakes have been made.
11 Stack the pancakes onto plates and serve with additional [wprm-ingredient text="Chopped bacon" uid="13"], a pat of [wprm-ingredient text="Softened butter" uid="11"] and [wprm-ingredient text="Pure maple syrup" uid="12"]. Enjoy immediately!
