I have been interested in experimenting with my bacon pancakes. i wanted to try a bacon weave to see how it worked. I also love maple waffles, so I knew already I was going to make those.

Making the batter is super easy. If you have a mix, then add a little less water and stir in your flavoring. In this instance it’s Maple syrup. You always want to use pure Maple syrup – it tastes better, it’s better for you, and it lasts longer. If you do not have an add water/milk mix, it’s easy to make the batter and then just add in you flavoring.

My new oil to use for cooking has been coconut oil. I love it. Especially on my waffle iron! It is light and it tastes great! Added bonus – when it’s at a temperature less than 70, it’s a solid! It’s fun to work with!

The Bacon weave, however, it a little trickier. I tried to do it in a pan, and that was a disaster. It was a shame to have to waste so much bacon! However, cooking it in the oven worked a lot better! I definitely recommend covering your pan with foil, and just building your weave on the pan itself. Pre-heat to 425. It takes about 15 minutes, depending on how crispy you like your bacon. I must say my first attempts were very successful.

Stay tuned for the next stage in my experimentation!
