Origin Bacon Pancakes
Bacon pancakes are a beloved American breakfast twist, combining two breakfast staples into one. Popularized by diners and food shows, they’ve become a hit for weekend brunches and breakfast-for-dinner nights.
What I Love About This Recipe
It’s a perfect bite every time—crispy bacon inside a soft pancake, drenched in maple syrup. I love how the bacon adds savory crunch, and you get both flavors without needing separate sides.
