Bacon Apple Pancakes
Bacon apple pancakes was the least thing I was thinking about earlier in the week. Then suddenly two snow days and 3 more sick days later, I found myself wanting to make a special breakfast for two little boys.
Bacon Apple Pancakes
This is where bacon apple pancakes comes in. I was perusing Chit Chat Chomp, my secret recipe club assignment and I was drawn to the which I turned into bacon apple pancakes, putting my little bit of the South twist on them.
Leigh who lives in Melbourne writes a very intriguing blog, full of french inspired recipes that were most certainly appealing such as Navarin Pritanier or lemon and lavender chicken. And, there’s lots of simple, elegant desserts such as Raspberry Coconut Cake, which I also chose to make for tonight’s dinner and it’s fabulous .This raspberry coconut cake disappeared within an hour.
Her photos are beautiful and there is an understated beauty and elegance to Chit Chat Chomp. I would love to sit and have some tea and cake with her. I think we would hit it off and I’ve said it a million times, there’s something about Australians that I embrace, especially their love for good food.
Use crispy bacon. As much or as little as you like.
The original recipe was for apple pancakes. I added bacon because I just happened to have some really good apple smoked bacon on hand. Either way you eat the apple pancakes, they are tasty. My twist to her recipe was to saute the apples in the bacon grease before adding them to the pancakes.
