Maple Bacon Pancakes

Cook the bacon until nearly crisp.

Brush both sides with maple syrup and cook until caramelized.

Whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.

Mix the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth.

Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.

Heat a lightly greased skillet over medium heat.

Pour the batter onto the skillet and cook until bubbles form.

Flip and cook until golden on both sides.

Stack the pancakes and top with the maple bacon.

Drizzle lightly with any remaining warm maple syrup.

Serve immediately.
