Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 3.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 tablespoons sugar
• 1.25 cups whole milk
• 1 large egg
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 0.75 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cups cooked crispy bacon, crumbled
• 2 tablespoons chopped chives
• 0.5 cups maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter for frying

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.

Step 2

In a separate medium bowl, beat the egg, then whisk in the milk and melted butter.

Step 3

Slowly pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix; lumps are okay.

Step 4

Fold in the cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, and chives until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 5

Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of the butter. Allow the butter to melt and coat the pan evenly.

Step 6

Scoop about 1/4 cup of the batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Spread slightly to form 4-5 inch circles.

Step 7

Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 8

Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.

Step 9

While the pancakes are cooking, warm the maple syrup in a small saucepan or microwave until slightly heated.

Step 10

Serve the pancakes stacked and drizzled generously with warm maple syrup to balance the savory flavors. Optionally garnish with additional bacon crumbles or chives.
