There is something about Pancakes or Waffles served with butter and syrup that brings me back to childhood. You know like that feeling you get when you eat a bowl of cereal that you haven’t had in years?….no?….Eh. But seriously If I could choose any breakfast and magically eat it everyday without gaining one butter laden pound it would be pancakes!  I wanted to try adding my next favorite food Bacon in there!  So there! You’ve been served a yummy plate of Sweet Waffles with a hint of BACOOOON!

I lied it’s not a hint, it’s a whole lot of Bacon -_-

These waffles are seriously light and fluffy the recipe is from here. I added a few extra things like a couple Shakes of Cinnamon, Crispy Bacon, and a Touch of Cocoa Powder. I wanted something sweet and savory. In a nutshell here is the easy recipe, please take note that the recipe that I linked is a huge batch of waffles, I halved it, and it made 7 Belgium style waffles. We all ate two with one waffle causality since I forgot to spray the waffle iron once.

Ingredients

1 1/3 cups flour

4 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons sugar

2 eggs , separated

1/2 cup butter , melted

1 3/4 cups milk

Optional but nessecary (in my opinion)

4 Strips of crispy Bacon (chopped finely)

1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

1 1/2 teaspoon cocoa Powder

Directions

Turn on your Oven Broiler, and place Bacon inside until Crisp and Done by not burnt.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all dry ingredients, including

Separate the eggs, adding the yolks to the dry ingredient mixture, and placing the whites in a small mixing bowl.

Beat whites until moderately stiff; set aside.

Add milk, melted butter and bacon to dry ingredient mixture and blend.

If the mixture is soupy sprinkle in flour in small amounts at a time but remember the batter doesn’t need to be thick, it’s supposed to be lightly.

Fold stiff egg whites into mixture. (don’t over fold)

Ladle mixture into hot waffle iron and cook.

*Editors Note*

Okay, so I sprinkled Nuts on here for picture purposes!

I don’t recommend it, it made the waffle too salty, and I ended up plucking them off.

Regular syrup will do the trick, I tried it with butter Pecan Syrup and it wasn’t that good either.

It’s safe to say that I’ve become very anal about taking pictures with natural lighting. It’s even safer to say that I’ll probably only do food post on the weekend so I can take advantage of that until I learn a little more about artificial lighting.
