- Dollop the pancakes onto the preheated skillet when ready using a cookie scoop or a measuring cup.
- Sprinkle 1-2 teaspoons of the cooked and chopped 12 ounces bacon on top of the pancake batter.
- When several bubbles have formed on the surface, flip the pancakes, and cook through, another 1-2 minutes.
- Repeat until all of the pancakes have been made. Keep in the oven on a wire rack until all are cooked.
- Stack the pancakes onto plates and serve with additional bacon, a pat of butter and real maple syrup.
