Banana and Bacon American Pancakes

01Method

1. 1

   Combine all the dry ingredients, then mix in the eggs and milk and whisk everything together until smooth. With the mixer running, slowly work in the melted lard or butter to keep the batter smooth and lump-free. If needed, adjust the consistency with a splash of milk and whisk again.

2. 2

   Lightly grease a pan with a paper towel dipped in oil, arrange the banana slices in the bottom, and pour over roughly one ladle of batter. Cook until golden, then flip and let the other side turn golden over low heat. Continue until all the batter is used up.

3. 3

   Fry the bacon in a dry pan or on a baking sheet in the oven until crispy. Serve the finished pancakes with butter, the crispy bacon, and a drizzle of maple syrup.
