Sunday Traditions: Pancakes and Bacon

Every Sunday I make breakfast and though I should be doing breakfast everyday I'm not a huge fan of breakfast foods.  I was the one in my family who was ordering hamburgers and spaghetti at Dennys while everyone was enjoying their Grand Slams.  But I married a breakfast lover so over the last 10 months I've been forced to embrace breakfast foods and slowly but surely I'm getting the hang of it.  I made my first normal pretty pancake today.  Usually they come out too thick or all wonky shaped but today they were small and light brown and fluffy and perfect.  They were also cooked along side bacon stuffed pancakes that Pinterest has blessed us with.  And so on now to the recipe portion of today's show:

Cook 6 pieces of bacon, set on paper towels to drain

Pancake recipe:
1 cup of flour
2 tbs. almond flour
3/4 tsp. salt
2 tsp. sugar
1 egg
3/4 c. almond milk
1 tsp. baking spice
1 tsp. vanilla extract

sift together dry ingredients then mix in wet.

On a griddle or in a pan on medium-high pour a little bit of batter the length of your bacon to act as glue, otherwise you'll be able to see your bacon through the other side of the pancake.  Lay your bacon down and cover with 1/4 c. batter.  Allow to cook for 2-3 minutes until air bubbles form then flip and let cook for another 2-3 mins.

I made 4 pancakes with bacon in them and 4 without with some bacon just on the side.  DB was pleased.
Frankenstein pancake, make sure to put some batter before the bacon :)
