- Flip over the pancake and cook until golden brown and crisp on the other side.
- Remove the pancake and place in a warm oven (about 225 degrees) and repeat the process until all pancakes are done.
For the Bacon Maple Butter:
- Add butter and maple syrup to a microwave safe container and melt together.
- Add some of the bacon bits to the syrup and leave the rest for garnish.
- Add pancakes to your plate and add bacon bits to the top pancake in your stack. Pour syrup mixture over pancakes and enjoy.
