Pinterest is useful after all

So I finally decided to give Pinterest another shot the other night. Of course being somewhat drunk and bored may have had something to do with it. So through my random clickings and pinnings I run across a picture of a breakfast I just have to try...bacon pancake strips. There were no instructions to go with the picture but lets face it...it's pancakes and bacon. How hard could it be?

This morning while my husband was out doing a Starbucks run for us, I decide to let's do this. I fry up some bacon in a pan, a few pieces at a time so that they are out straight. I didn't cook them in the griddle I was going to cook the pancake strips because I don't want all that grease. I transfer the bacon to the griddle when it's about 3/4ths of the way crispy. It's still slightly chewy but I let it cook for about a minute more.

While the bacon is cooking I get my pancake batter together. Just your simple everyday pancake batter, nothing to write home about except I do add cinnamon to my batter. The husband and I love our cinnamon pancakes. I make the batter thinner than I normally do to ensure easy pouring and the covering of the bacon.

With my griddle I got to cook about three strips at at time. The bacon makes for some more interesting shaped pancakes.

Buttering them was a little interesting. I found just plopping little pats of butter on them and let it melt was the most effective method.

Overall they were good. The novelty of them is getting a piece of crispy bacon in every bite. I think next time I want to make the pancake batter a bit thicker. I much prefer the thicker pancake and we found that the bacon separated from the pancake at times while eating. But it was a fun idea and one we'll definitely will do again.
