Ingredients for Beer And Bacon Mancakes

  • 8 slices bacon
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • Original Bisquick Mix
  • 1 cup beer (any kind you enjoy)
  • 2 large eggs

How to Make Beer And Bacon Mancakes

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top.
  2. Arrange bacon slices in a single layer on the wire rack. Bake for 10 minutes.
  3. Sprinkle half of the brown sugar evenly over the bacon.
  4. Bake for another 10 minutes.
  5. Flip the bacon slices and sprinkle with the remaining brown sugar.
  6. Bake for 10-15 more minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove from oven and let cool completely on the rack for about 15 minutes.
  7. Crumble the cooled bacon into small pieces and set aside.
  8. Preheat a griddle or large skillet over medium-high heat to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease with vegetable oil or shortening.
  9. In a medium bowl, whisk together the Bisquick baking mix, beer, and eggs until just combined. Add more beer, 1 tablespoon at a time, if the batter is too thick.
  10. Gently fold in the crumbled bacon.
  11. Pour 1/2 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each mancake. Cook until the edges are dry and bubbles begin to form on the surface (about 2-3 minutes).
  12. Flip the mancakes and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  13. Serve immediately and enjoy your Beer & Bacon Mancakes!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
