Calling all beer and bacon fans! (Cue sound of feet skidding on the floor as dads race into the room.) These beer and bacon flapjacks are for you.
You will need:
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1/2 to 3/4 cup beer
2 tablespoons melted butter
3 pieces cooked bacon, cut into pieces
What to do:
In a bowl, briefly whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
In a separate, larger bowl, beat the egg. Add the butter and 1/2 cup of beer and stir together. Add the dry mixture all at once and stir until well blended. Add additional beer as needed to get the consistency you prefer for pancakes, about an additional 1/4 cup.
Heat a skillet or griddle on medium heat. Grease with butter OR canola oil non-stick spray. Pour 1/4 cup of batter on the skillet. Sprinkle some of the bacon on top. Cook until the underside is golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook the other side until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes.
Serve with warmed maple syrup. Makes 8 pancakes.
